You are my destiny (Prem Heer FF)
Prologue:
How our society reacts when husband is 10 years older than his wife is. Sometimes some sick people comments how husband is lucky to get such a younger wife, but society accepts that type of couple generally. When husband is five year older than his wife society accepts it. When husband is three years older than his wife is apart from some people, society accepts them and it is becoming popular in urban area.
When husband and wife are same aged, problems begin to start. First some of the friends and family members of husband would told the man that, he should not marry a woman of his age as his wife would not respect him as her husband, or he could do much better by marrying a woman who is significantly younger than him, or his wife will lose her youthfulness soon when he would still remain young.
Still, with advancement of society, society came to accept this type of couple may be with less enthusiasm. Still consider it as rare thing.

For a vast portion of our society, a woman having younger husband is an unnatural thing, it is like an unbreakable taboo for many of them. They think in that case, the husband is either very stupid or after the money of his wife for marrying a woman who is older than he is.
Love does not see age therefore, we are recently seeing some of those marriage but all of them are love marriages.

He will have a very unhappy married life as his wife will not respect him at all as he is younger than her , on the top of that she will lose her youth fullness soon when he will still remain young.
Or some people will comment like-
Prem must have some serious physical, mental, or character flaws in him for marrying a woman who is older than he is.
How Prem himself will cope with this situation. He never thought this woman would be his wife as she is his older second cousin. He never saw Heer in such way. Will his effort proved to be enough to make the marriage work. Will his wife accept him as her husband from bottom of her heart?
Will their choice match, will they able to compromise? Will they able to prevent their ego to clash with each other? Will they able to love each other at the end? This type of questions will haunt his mind while he would face various degree of societal pressure after his marriage.

In this story, we will see if Prem and Heer can realized that, yes god send people in pairs but in some of those pairs woman born early than her man. Just because their age compsotion is different from other couples, that does not mean they are inferior to other couples. Their marriage is less meaningful than other couples are. They too have a right to love each other; their relationship should also be respected by society. They should not be subject to people's colorful comment.
