They don't want to be told "This is a matter between us!". A "Matter" between a husband and wife would be an argumentor something they need to resolve, a conflict etc. NOT abuse, or ill treatment! That is a matter for the police or the law or even family to intervene.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Shivaay's family was right in being mad at him and looking down on him for what he did. It doesn't meanthey will abandonhim for good. But if MY brother acted this way I would be so ashamed of him and I will say so, and won't let anyone give me "Lectures" about why I should move past it, and how it's "their" matter!</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Just like many people have pointed out..."Love of Family" is NOT a good enough reason to victimize someone. If anyone even thinks that they are dead wrong. I love my family more than anything. But does that mean I have carte blanche to abuse and victimize others in the name of saving my family honor? Tomorrow I will kill someone and they will say "She did it for the love of her family!" and then I become right? Come on...we all know this is not the case. Fact or fiction, in neither world, is acting like a criminal towards someone to save your family acceptable! By Annika saying that the criminal acts of Shivaay, as well as what he did after the marriage to publically humiliate her is "their matter" she is trivializing it! It gives the wrong message.</font>
