And then I reflected on his character and felt that it was right. It didn't take trickery or black magic (on him) for him to come to that decision.
I actually found Azaad agreeing to the marriage believable.
Let's not forget he loves Mahira very much to the point he was wanting her to leave him to protect her.
Unfortunately she got trapped in his mother's evil plans. She had no choice but to say yes to Amaad
Now Azaad is stuck. How can he see the woman he loves so much be treated that way, that too by his brother. He tries to talk sense to Mahira to not say yes to the marriage. He even apologises for treating her bad and begs her not to punish herself instead. But she is adamant on marrying. He does not know why though. But when he closes his eyes, he can hear her scream for him to help her, like she is trapped somehow. I think the last scene of his brother nearly raping her is probably what broke him.
He has to stop this marriage of Amaad to Mahira at all cost because he knows that Mahira does not love Amaad and Amaad is only marrying her to hurt him.
So he wants the marriage of Amaad to Mahira to stop.
The house is busy with marriage preparation and ceremony.
So the only way now to save his beloved is for him to step up. Afterall he does love her and she loves him. So he then says finally that if all the signs point that God wants me to marry her, he is going to stop running. For his love and her safety, he will marry her!
