Why would they show this...When the real custom wasn't this.
They are showing a custom/ritual which was in use in Rajasthan and probably is still in use in Royal families. They do not promote child marriage nor glorify it.(there's a disclaimer for it) This serial is not going off air no matter what some section of people say. At least not for some months. Why?
It has generated publicity just by its promos and I'm sure any kind of publicity will help it gain eyeballs.
Main reason is it's story and the base of it. Diya sacrifices her life by marrying ,for saving Ratan from his family who want to kill Ratan for his money and property(usually these plots happen in Royal families for snatching property) as this would make her legally associated with Ratan ans this way she can be with him as his guard/protector. The child Ratan is just fascinated by a story and has a crush over Diya, nothing else. Of course some things in the show was not shown rightly but not everything is bizzare and it's a fictional story at the end of the day.
