He can surely take care of Archu's parents because it is a daughter's duty too , to look after her own parents😊 In this case as Archu is a housewife Manav should bear the expenses
Yes it is a daughter's duty too even after marraige to take care of parents.
But some facts have to be considered as this is a very practical issue .
One has to first check if it is an ONLY daughter scenario .
If not , the responsibility has to be SHARED with the other siblings .
Also , in a Hindu society , if there is a SON , and he is doing all the duties , its better not to interfere and give him scope for resentment .
We did see Vinod mentioning THAT RESENTMENT .
Vinod has been bad NOW . For a large part , he was an extremely dutiful son . He did EVERYTHING for Sulochana...literally EVERYTHING . He and his wife ran the house . Sulochana partied with his salary advance when he got job after a long term of unemployment . Vinod had given Archana Gold Bangles when he had gone to drop her off at the chawl as a bride . Vinod was honestly a very good son .
He had NOT given a single penny to Rasika . He had however done everything for HIS family .
When such sons exist , its better for damads to stay away and not attempt to be the sons of the family as resentment may set in and their equation gets disturbed .
What was need for Archu to phone Manav when they were being thrown out of the house and for Manav to give one lakh . Vinod and Manju shud have been allowed to solve the matter .If they were thrown , they cud easily have gone to Manjus Bandra Flat . They wud not have come out on the roads .
Why is Satish's help REFUSED each time and only Manav 's help is taken . Satish too had come to offer his help after the house fiasco .
If a son is there and a bhabhi is involved , and if the son is willing to take responsibility , better to not get involved acc to Hindu norms .
If son is unwilling to take full responsibility , siblings shud have meeting and ALL shud chip in .
In a Hindu marraige , the DAUGHTER is given away in Kanyadaan . She goes to ANOTHER house to fill it with happiness .
There is yet no vidhi of PUTRA DAAN where mother of son gives her son away to the daughters family as a cow to be milked financially forever .
If something very ODD is being shown here in the name of MODERN THOUGHTS ...I would suggest to Ekta's CVS not to show it LOP SIDEDLY , but to show it ALL THE WAY .
Since Girls r still changing surnames and taking on surname of husband , since girls r still going thru Kanyadaan Vidhi and coming to live at Husbands place , since girls r sTILL opting to be housewives and live off the proceeds that a husband brings in ...I suggest they go further and do what the ancient norms said ...Make the husband's Life happy and become detached from Maayka ...get involved if NECESSARY and IN THE PROPER WAY .
If NOT ...if Girl Wants to take FULL responsibility of maayka like this , its not correct to burden husband financially ALL the time with never ending problems of her family .
Then the Girl should NOT change her surname , Should NOT come to live in Husbands family but opt to live seperate , Shud do a job and earn , Shud pool her income with husbands income and by living in a seperate house both shud come and go to their families and take on responsibility of BOTH families .
Isn't this Fair ?
Let us not confuse LOVE FOR MAAYKA with TAKING ADVANTAGE of a husband's love . It ain't FAIR .
Why shud a young man starting out on life be depleted financially by responsibilities of an ENTIRE NEW FAMILY if this is what marraige entails .
I woud hold workshops and advise young men NOT to get married then . Coz if this is the Life that awaits them , its HORRIBLY UNFAIR and BEST AVOIDED .
What is Archana exactly ? On one hand she pretends to be a pativrata of OLD zamana with those ancient norms . Then Whats This ? Is this what our ancestors told us to do ? Make ur Pati always financially weak ?
On other hand she goes in for divorce , gives away babies , Keeps on interfering in maayka problems ...Where does she fit in ?
She is shown to be a Marathi middle class GRUHINI .[ a housewife}
well In real life she would have been BLASTED by her mother in law and seniors of the household ...even other relatives by saying to her
Kai ga ? Tujha kanyadaan zala hota ka Amchya mulacha Putradaan ?Tyala bheekela lawnar ahes ka ? Tujya maherche problems sampnar tari kadhi ?
Meaning
What re ? Were u given to us in kanyadaan or was Manav given to ur family in Putra daan ? Are you gonna make him a beggar ? When the hell r ur maika problems gonna end ?
No one in this serial is left to give Archana and her money eating maika a CHECK anymore .
