Anyway, Hindu religion as such does not approve divorce. In Hinduism, marriage is a sacred relationship, a divine covenant and a sacrament where two souls get married (the actual marriage ceremony in ancient times happened wearing unstitched cloths signifying marriage of two souls). Therefore it cannot be dissolved on some personal grounds.

Hey Romancefan I did not see your post before.

From what I understand Kalapi is right, a Hindu marriage is more than just paper, it is for life and I guess for many lifetimes too. I like that concept in a sense, but only if I truly believe that it is your soul mate. It is not good when you find out that the person may not be for you, and you have committed yourself totally to them. That is why I feel so bad for Vikram, even though if Reva is not an imposter and is a good person, I would feel bad for her as well.

The western part of the world is different in a lot of ways, I think for the most part marriage is a joke. However, my religion does not believe in divorce just like Hinduism. The belief is that once the marriage has been consummated and valid divorce is impossible according to my religion, unless one spouse dies. Even if you get a court divorce, it is not recognised as that. An annulment can be issued but you have to be able to prove that the marriage was invalid, it never existed.

I think whether Gulabiya mentions the word divorce or not, she could have at least ask him to prove his love by leaving his wife, then she would get her answer.

I don't believe Vikram would abandon Reva so easily, and it is not because he is in love, but because he has decent ways, even though he is wrong in not speaking the truth.

I would never want to be in Vikram's situation. 😆

I don't understand G raving about Sugni being a 2nd wife when infact Sitamaya whom she worships, her father in law (Dashrath) also had many wives if i am not mistaken. Not very sure about the epic. Unless ofcourse only Kings were allowed to have many queens.

I like the points you have made in this thread RF...all are very valid. Yes, why don't the cvs take this avenue or even address it. It is disappointing and rather insulting when your audience members have so many questions and witness so many loopholes for which the writers have no answers.

But surely they know the word 'talaq.'

I understand that it's unthinkable for them, so it wouldn't even occur to Gulabiya. But I don't think they would be unaware of the concept.

Hi Likarsh, thanks for your comments. What is 'talaq'? Is it a hindi word? Sorry i don't understand much HIndi. Can you explain please?

It is the urdu word for "divorce."

Wonder why the writer has not thought of it. Is Gulabiya feeling sorry for Reva? That's why she didn't ask Vikram to leave her? Gulabo is a nice person, she has been a mistress before, so she knows how Saroj Thakurain felt.😕 And like you, i wouldn't want to be in Vik's shoes either.😊
