I don't mean to offend anyone, I just want to give my two cents.

All this would mainly depend on who manages to get a good lawyer. (and we know that would be Malini thanks to her mother.)

At the beginning, when they were forcefully married, both Adi and Imlie were victims.

Then they left Pagdandya and got to a place where they were safe, and there was no threat to their lives. After coming to this safe place, Adi calls the forceful marriage, an illegal marriage. He is a successful and experienced journalist, so he should be knowing that even though it is an illegal marriage, it is still a marriage. He should be approaching a court and getting the marriage annulled. When he is not doing that, in the eyes of law, he becomes a silent/willing participant. When he is not legally challenging the validity of the marriage and dissolve the marriage, then legally speaking, it would mean he has accepted the marriage just like Imlie, especially when he took the wife to his own house. But still he is a victim just like Imlie.

Adi did try telling Malini the truth but she ended up fainting. So, he lies to her to keep her safe. Malini without even questioning him on playing such a cruel prank on her or investigate why he would just makeup a story like that, simply accepts what he was saying, effectively turning a blind eye to the truth. That time, she was a fool and stupid, but still a victim. Imlie also a victim. Adi a victim of circumstance.

Instead of waiting and finding the appropriate time to confess to Malini and dissolve his first marriage, he decided to marry Malini without disclosing about his first marriage, he stopped being a victim and has become a criminal. He has in full conscious married another woman while already married to someone else. Even if he tried telling Malini the truth, he ended up misleading her in the end and married her by hiding his marriage. (Even if Malini knew the truth, then also Adi would be a bigamist and his marriage to Malini invalid.) And here, to an extent, however helpless she was, legally speaking, Imlie becomes his partner in crime as she in her full conscious had hid the fact that Adi was married to her and had let Adi get married to Malini. Here the only victim is Malini.

If things go to the court in the real world, and both Imlie and Malini gets good lawyers to fight for the validity of their marriage, then also, Imlie would be the real wife whose marriage the court could annul if that is what Adi and Imlie want. All because Adi wasn’t smart enough to file a case against the villagers and dissolve the forced marriage. Even if his marriage to Malini had thousands of witnesses, his marriage to Imlie also had witnesses and main being the village head.

While Malini’s wedding would be declared invalid. And Adi would be punished for bigamy and fraud.

Though everyone started of as (legally) victims,

Adi because of his stupidity, stubborn nature , misguided and shortsightedness, is no longer a victim. he is a criminal - bigamist, fraud and adulterer(if Adi-Malini have consummated)

Imlie even though helpless, she is in a way both a victim and partner in crime because she could have informed Malini about their marriage and stopped the fraud from happening.

Malini so far, even though is stupid and plain dumb, is still a victim.

On a side note, Even though they are criminals🤣, you can understand why I am shipping Adilie because, I see only them as the married couple here.

And the main reason, I believe only in the validity of Adi-Imlie marriage is the 10 sec clip that plays before each episode showing us their marriage in the titles🤪.

Your right and I agree in the court of law he has wronged and committed a crime but then there is a flip side whom governs emotions and believes.

Everyone is right we have to abide the law and cannot hide form a crime but unfortunately we also have to agree that the fear of the law is often overshadowed by the need to please others and our own insecurities. They both acted to govern Maline emotional stability forgetting that the law could be far worse when they will have to face the reality of the deceit.

It was not an intended by either of them but forced. I just hope in the end all get the justice they seek.

The test is of social responsibility v self fear and dealing with either is never easy

Very well explained 👏.....you have logically explained the entire progression of events.

I ofcourse am rooting for Adi-Imlie as well and I enjoy the layering/nuance in their relationship despite all the complications Yes their relation is so different, subtle, deep, true and honest, and progression is so beautiful.....but I'm clear-eyed enough to see the point at which Adi lost the moral high ground very very true, for all his big talks on fighting for what is right and being honest, he is a liar and living dual life....which as you rightly said was the moment he knowingly married Malini without dissolving his marriage with Imlie. He can give a zillion excuses that he tried telling Malini before but it didn't work out etc. etc....but end of the day, the fact on the ground is that he committed bigamy, period. Another point I forgot to add was, promptly after he married Malini, he went back to Pagdandya and this time, without any gun pointed at his head, he participated in all of the marriage rituals with Imlie, then telling the police his full identity and calling Imlie his wife. again legally validating his marriage to Imlie and his bigamist state.

So yes, I do expect he will face some legal issues with this in the future....my money is fully on Mrs. C getting him thrown in jail for bigamy😆. Suddenly, I had a dream of Mrs. C filing a case against Adi for being a bigamist and Imlie for being his partner in crime, to defraud Malini out of her wealth. And Adi fighting tooth and nail to protect Imlie from any legal charges... It is not going to happen... well a girl can dream

Adi-Malini have obviously consummated their marriage😆I am pretty sure they have, but being a Gul show, I am prepared for a googly like Shivaay's confession that he and Anika weren't able to consummate cause of all the problems that had occurred after their marriage👏(even when he had a "yeh pehnao" scene), likewise if Adi also says something like that, I would be shocked out of my wits but I will believe him😆....so that's another layer to this mess that Adi has created because he didn't dissolve his marriage with Imlie before proceeding to think only his marriage with Malini is valid....lol.....which is why in some ways we all joke that this guy doesn't even know isko kis level ka Karma face karna padega despite the fact that fundamentally he is a good guy with good intentions.....but he has failaaoed too much raita in trying to run away from facing the truth of his marriage to Imlie. LOL true, but I wouln't keep much hope on it happening, because being a Gul show, I doubt the male lead will have to grovel to female lead much, all the Karma that would hit him would be, when he realizes his feelings for Imlie, Imlie would go "Babu Saheb, aap Malini Di ke the, Malini Di ke hai aur Malini Di ke hi rahenge" for 3-4 episodes before destiny intervenes and hands Imlie on a golden platter to Adi.

Yes, I agree that they both acted to protect Malini, and that is where Imlie becomes the helpless partner in crime, while Adi still had the option of dissolving his marriage to Imlie before his marriage to Malini. He had been keeping her waiting for years, he could have kept her waiting for a few more months while he secretly dissolved his marriage to Imlie. Then if he had married Malini, then he wouldn't be bigamist, he would be only a liar for hiding his first marriage (which legally is still grounds for divorce). His biggest crime against Malini, is that Malini thinks she is his legally wedded wife when in truth she is not. Adi being a journalist, he definitely might have covered or at the least, read about forced marriages in the papers, and knows what should be done when such a thing happens, still he did nothing.

LOL Shivika's marriage was completely different than Adi-Malini's so I'm not sure if that's a fair comparison😆.....Adi-Malini are happily married (supposedly) and never had any emotional hang-ups to navigate before entering marriage.....Shivika ke case mein it was still believable since it took them a while to settle into their marriage. Adi-Malini have no such excuse especially even more so because they are shown very physically comfortable with each other.

This show and these characters are just not like the typical Gul show so I'm not sure if we should be expecting anything of that nature.

I don't want Adi to grovel....he does enough of that with Malini in his weird guilt trips. But I think given the kind of character he is who is much more expressive of his emotions than the average Gul ML, he will definitely feel the weight of Karma when the time comes.....Imlie forgiving him is a different issue cuz that's the kind of person she is - so that's also not really the issue for me....I like their story for the understanding between them, not to settle any scores.....sure, Adi gets his share of chop and Karma from time to time and that's fun to watch.....lol....but I also don't see any reason to presume he will not face the consequences of the mess he has made. Again, his way of getting into this mess is not like the typical Gul story of hate shaadi so we should remember that as well. He is a different person.

*Edit: As for Adi validating his marriage with Imlie again and again in different ways despite refusing to accept it....those are his emotional reactions that he hasn't introspected about yet. I guess my point is that I can hold him accountable for what he has done morally/legally wrong while still understanding why his emotions are muddled given the kind of person he is who suppresses himself in many ways and then bursts out impulsively.

LOL I am not comparing them, I was saying, out of the thousand issues they had between them, Gul had made Shivaay give this particular reason as why they had not consummated their marriage to a random Aunt that had popped into the show for a month. All he could have said was they got married under strange circumstances and they had misunderstandings, now it is all cleared but they are taking their time, but he said "so many problems happening at home, so we couldn't consummate"

This show and these characters are just not like the typical Gul show so I'm not sure if we should be expecting anything of that nature. Yes, that is true:)

Again, his way of getting into this mess is not like the typical Gul story of hate shaadi so we should remember that as well. He is a different person. Yes true, he is different. he is not the larger than life hero. he is more of a common man who we can relate to how much ever he messes up. the music that Adi is going to face I feel are, Imlie willing to sacrifice him for Malini or Malini getting pregnant when he wants to acknowledge Imlie as his wife or the best Mrs. C out for his blood (I am rooting for this the most🤪)

Yes same here, we see his journey so we know his reasons and majboori, but when you look at through the legal point of you, he is leading a dual life, where he acknowledges Malini as his wife in Delhi and Imlie as his wife in Pagdandia.

See we are again seeing logic and practical approach but we forgot he thought of the promises he already had made to her. Forgetting all else. Yes he had a way out and had so many ways he could have taken but in the end he went with what sat well with him and the events. That’s what what ifs are all about and life sometimes no matter how many experiences we have or how educated we are we still govern by the heart then think practically with mind. It’s shows how naive he has been to it all.

I am just keen to see how the show tackles this issues from both an legal and emotional front for they will all pay a price on both sides of it.

He will pay the price how heavy we shall see.
