Re-posting what I just posted.
Personally, am cool with this show so far. Don't even want to know the reason as to why some are making useless fuss. That's human nature.
Stalker, pedophile, child marriage blah blahh... things have just gotten ridiculous as far as reactions of some are concerned. Why is anyone trying to come up with a logical solution to a situation in a story? Almost no show runs on logic so what's the point in saying stuffs like 'Diya could have adopted Ratan', 'this could have been done'..'that could have been done' etc.. Ratan & Diya had to be married so they got married. Deal with it or don't watch fiction. A story is what a story is.
a. Child marriage can turn into a curse or a boon. Depends from person to person. If Ratan can grow up to value and respect the bond called marriage, than great! Why make a huge hue and cry over it? Maturity is independent of age, kids can turn miles more mature and sensible than bratty adults, but we have a bad habit of picking out negative angle in everything. How many adults manage to understand and value marriage in today's age? If Ratan fails to work the marriage than they can break the marriage once he is of 'legal' age. So called 'adults' break marriages all the time and fool around it to no end. If Diya & Ratan make this marriage successful than Yo! 'adults', you need to take inspiration from them as to how its done.
b. Stalking is an umbrella term most Indians now use without any sense. I'd call Ratan following Diya scene as stalking if the intent was harmful..that was just a boy following girl who he thought was his angel. Now do not give me nonsense reasons like in future he will become an obsessed stalker etc. Do not insert fears of your own mind to a story. This a DAMN show and let's not predict the future of a fictional show to suit our own imagination that roots from our own fear of this messed up society.
c. SO much hoopla over Ratan probably loving Dia. So what even if it's love? Love is independent of age and all other factors. It takes many forms. It's the sick and nasty mentality of most people that they equate love with 's*x', 'lust' and what not...which again is a result of skepticism and fear of the society they live in but hello! It's a show NOT your world. It's people's messed up perspective that ruins even most harmless, innocent gestures. They think of love in nasty way and than go all "omg", "eww" and "creepy". Love in its core is a harmless, pure feeling. Lust is not a part of love, people make love a part of lust to make lust look justified.
d. Once Ratan grows up, I wouldn't mind the romantic angle between him and Diya. Like I said, if they can value this marriage and make it successful by adding respect, care and love to it than it's an example most 'adults' need to learn something from. After all, marriage is all about what one makes of it and intent makes all the difference. Ratan is a child who has the capability to reflect depth and maturity beyond his age. More than many 'adults'.
Age is not necessarily a measure of maturity. 'Of age' just gives one a license where they need to manage their OWN mess.. it doesn't necessarily stop mess from happening. For that a person has to grow, evolve for better on his own and it comes from within. Acting childish by being under the tag of an 'adult, of age' is no way better.. it's even worse.
