I personally think it's physical intimacy. Pre marriage, yes they shared moments, but at the end of the day, they went back to their little nests. HS on his charpayi, and Babita to Minnie. But sharing a room and a bed moroever is a whole different matter. In that aspect HS is a complete stranger to her and she's being asked to sleep in the same bed as him.
And let's think about the kind of nights she would have spent with Ashok. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would have been kind or indulged her with some late night talks. Even after having sex, did he provide her with some after care? Heck, even while having sex, did he ever take her needs into consideration or did he just pass out after he climaxed? What did Babita do then? Clean up the mess, hide their dirty deed and then go to sleep? Did she even sleep? Did she feel hollowed out? Used? For that matter, did they ever have sex after Minnie was born? How did Babita feel then? Bacha hogaya and now she's no longer appealing to him? That's a whole different kind of low.
HS and Ashok are two completely different people, but just the mere idea of having to share the same bed with him might be triggering her.
For arguements sake, let's say they do go on their honeymoon. The day is filled with activities. But what about night? Again, it comes down to the fact that she'll have to spend the night with him, in the same bed.
I think she has some severe trauma from her first experiences and she has suppressed it for SO long but now it's in danger of coming out.
If this isn't the case, then I don't know what can justify Babita's behavior.
