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.
