Agree with you Khushi & Anusuya. In India, most of the men are like that. However, I say that in the whole world, there are very few people who will truly love you and if you find one, you are lucky to get that treasure.
In Western countries, there is no such concept like arranged marriages. There are only love marriages. In India, if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, the society will think something is wrong with you. In western countries if you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend, that society will think something is wrong with you. Furthermore, in western countries, the couple will live together if they are compatible with each other & the divorces are very fast.
In India it will take years to get the divorce unless you prove that you or your partner don't have a sound mind.
The other difference is that in India, if you marry, you are not only married to your spouse but also to the entire family. In western countries, it is not like that.
So as per the Indian society, Gopi has not only married Ahem but also to his entire family. As for their love, it is not the only thing. It has to be accompanied with mutual understanding, respect, support & trust. If these things are not there, love will go in for a toss.
The couple lacked understanding which caused a lot of problems.
