My point was insults to the bride who never demanded anything nor had any say in any decisions. She just wanted to spend the rest of her life with the man she loves. Period!!! For which she was punished, insulted, humiliated enough. Any other bride would have just stopped the wedding.
Here's my question. What was your feeling when Dev's family was blaming Sona in attack mode (three people against one) and Dev was looking at her as if it was her demand to put non-veg on the menu and as if he and his mother didn't agree to it?
Not once he said that it was my decision to agree to something Sona's family wanted. Sona never said nor asked anything about it other than thanking me for thinking of her family.
But when a woman is insulted in front of her new family, that's her due for being a woman, yet when a man is asked a question (a very valid question) in front of HIS family (not HER family), the sympathy well pours over on his very non-existent wound.
Like I said, judgement is always reserved for women because we are raised to think like that in society. God forbid a woman actually dares to question the unfairness and injustice done to her.
Dev can look at the big picture because no one is forcing him to live with a new family who is just tolerating his presence because of their daughter. He can also afford to look at the big picture because no one is insulting him or humiliating him in every step. If anything, he is treated like royalty.
Sona can only see the big picture when Dev blocks everyone of the little every day insults and humiliation like he did yesterday.
So the expectations lies now with Dev because he brought her into his house with promises to protect her honour and dignity.
