Spirit, this is actually such a huge issue in reality too ... Geneva conventions and all that aside, how many prisoners are actually treated according to the rules?Yes, Rudra is a deeply flawed man ... one has to accept that. There is no justification for his coercion of Paro, regardless of any arguments to the contrary. He has NO proof against her, he himself says the brides are sold into prostitution ... is he suggesting they go willingly knowing that fate awaits them? So he is using brute force ... if it became known in his office how he forced Paro to sign the documents, then her testimony would be null and void anyway.The weak are always over-ridden by the strong ... and that is what is happening here too.
If we are talking about this relating it to real life then there are far too many things that are wrong here and would never happen this way in real life!
Taken as a story track and given the show would do well to keep it's leads connected this track is ok unless it leads to a hate marriage.
If we are talking real life then I doubt Rudra could have carried out that mission the way he did... I doubt he would be allowed to take Paro to his house and I doubt things would reach an impasse like this!
Again... we know Paro is innocent and he doesn't in the story... I repeat because that is the only reason he is coercing her as you say... He has no proof and she isn't budging so this is his last attempt so to speak!
