The Karanjkar family is trying to be good to Archu, but are suffocating her in the process. Archana has obviously not gotten over the failure of her marriage, and pushing her into a marriage that she is not ready for will not help, it will suppress the grief and be a cause for chronic depression, and a whole host of other mental disorders. When faced with a tragedy, no matter what it is, the loss of a parent, the death of a child, the death of a spouse, the end of a marriage, heck even the death of a pet!, it is crucial to grieve before trying to move on. Think about it, if someone was 14 weeks along in their pregnancy, and had a miscarriage, would they try for another baby right away? Maybe, but if they do that miscarriage will haunt them for the rest of their lives, thinking that they replaced their lost child with another, and will either never be able to love their child or smother them and spoil them so they can't make any productive decisions in life.
Archana already has suicidal/self-harm tendencies that are the screaming for help 'Please get me some help, some therapy'. If Sulochana really loved her daughter and was trying to do whatever she could to keep her daughter safe and happy, she would have gotten her daughter therapy, not shoved her into an unwanted marriage.
As far as marrying a would-be-rapist, Vandu didn't want to marry him, she was blackmailed by Ajit and his mom. I don't condone it, in fact I strongly oppose such decisions, I'm just reminding you of what happened in the show.
