Exactly Jaya. Certain aspects we have to deal as courtesy calls. An obligation. Even when a rule is there which allows you to do certain things, there are little things that gives Maryada to it. Ram is called Maryada Purushottam so we are seeing how he takes care of each and every minute maryada with respect to relation.

Marriage can happen even if Kaikeyi doesn't agree. If Dasrath is fine with it and the other 2 queens are fine, Kaikeyi as such has no power to stop the marriage. But to know she will have a concern and to address that concern taking the step shows courtesy or maryada.

Oh, too late to join the club. Nonetheless I try to add my own flavour.

First of all, I enjoyed the views of all. For me, each point seems to be correct from an individual angle.

I already said about kaikeyi, so it will be good if CV's don't extrapolate the mindset of kaikeyi. Yes, she cares for Ram but better if its shown as she agrees whole-heartedly before marriage.

I want Ramayan not to be bend to fit our current issues rather to be straight with prime story line which signifies and underlines the solution for still existing problems. Though I welcome the different interpretation of the event, I am not for insertion, deletion and mutation.

Epics/puranas are more close to our heart/soul rather than our mind. So it is good if CV's make it straight and still pull out the essential solutions for the current time period.

Coming to love marriage issue, I have a question. When he/she cheated their own parents how much faithful will they be to their chosen partners? Still love married people are not treated with due respect. To be frank, if I know a person in my circle to have committed so, automatically I start ignoring them (no intention, just my mindset). I wont hurt them with my words but somewhat their character becomes a question mark in societies vision. This is my POV. No offence to anyone but its the truth.

@ramya I have the same question you have. How can you trust a person who has left his existing relations for u. What is the guarantee they will not do the same to u. But I don't think many lovers think that deep as love is blind. But they need to understand marriage is an eye opener 😆

@Meena you can look at Ramayana from various perspectives. One is to understand the complexity of relations and how Ram-Sita handled them. And I as a person is more interested in that because managing relations is a delicate art and one who succeeds in it, succeeds in all spheres of life.

It's also about going beyond a relation for benifit of others & viewing everything in a larger perspective.
Being selfless & putting other's betterment before their own.
