I mean, yes, one of the reasons for Karan to budge was what he had seen with his own eyes what his father did, and the fact that he had been cornered after Naina agreed. He is good-hearted and felt bad for the others and didn't particularly enjoy the thought that they might suffer because of him - it's natural and very human.But another reason, maybe even a bigger one or equally as big is Karan's equation with NK. Karan cannot speak up in front of NK. Maybe it's difficult to reconcile this bit of information with the fact that Karan dislikes NK greatly and does not favor his father's ideologies and ways (it's not for me but might be for others). But this is what we have been shown from the beginning: him avoiding NK. Retreating from a room when NK is in there. Never opening his mouth in front of NK even if he is burning to. In the past, he might have rejected things NK wanted for him by simply not doing them and avoiding NK. But here, he cannot avoid - he is cornered. And NK's mercilessly using this weakness of Karan's against him to make him budge, which he successfully did.It's a mix of Karan empathising with Meghna, Sharda and especially Kunal - and of psychological factors, e.g. his inability to stand up to NK.
Really like the analysis that you've presented. As you and Namita said - Karan's inability to speak up against NK might be the reason for NaiRan wedding. I previously thought that Karan hated/despised NK so much that he would have never agreed for the marriage. He is a good person- he sympathises with Meghna and Sharda. But marrying for that seemed a bit far stretched in my opinion. Though his dynamics with NK influencing his decision - makes sense.

As for the show titled Swabhiman: I believe it has to be seen in different lights. The show will be about the different understanding of Swabhiman - ideologies. What is swabhiman and what is abhiman? When are lines blurred? Hence, why we see some characters stand for this and others for that. Furthermore, the show is also about a mother losing her swabhiman and her daughters trying to restore it. Meghna said it, the Chauhans didn't just insult her mother's swabhiman, "uski dhajjiya udda diya" - so, yes, in that context, we had to see Sharda losing her swabhiman for this. And there's more to come, I guess 😆
Till now the show is focussing on the different spectrum of self-worth that each person assigns to himself. What NK has is ego - abhimaan. But what was shown initially for Sharda (not accepting money from her brothers etc - things which I really liked and made me appreciate the character) is now on a downfall. I guess that's what's the show's about. After this wedding fiasco, Meghna is the only character who's reaction I can relate with. She would be on damage inflicting mode. So yeah, there's a lot more to come. It's quite amazing how 1 person's ego can send so many lives spiralling out of control.
