This is his point, if everyone or even one person feels that polygamy is wrong regardless of the Era then they can also understand that Child marriage is wrong. If people want him to accept a child as his bride because the time was such that Child marriage was the norm then he is going to be your regular male, for whom multiple marriages were allowed and infidelity was not a thing.
That's what he said to Bon, if she wants a regular marriage and act like an Adarsh patni, he'd be a regular husband. He wants to annul their marriage and free her from the shackles of child marriage, how's that wrong?
Ani is doing the right thing, how can creatives show a happy child marriage? What is the incentive to ban it if one can be happy in child marriage?
Just think from Ani's perspective, He doesn't see her as his wife, I can see most fans are thinking that they'll grow up and there will be romance as I have seen posts which think a hug between them was "Lovey-Dovey", how can it be when you are seeing Bon? She's a child
Ani wants a good future for her where she can live independently, Child marriage cannot result in a happy married life
I have stated marriage wasn't required so I agree with you on that
Did every man of that era marry multiple times? Many might have done that, maybe it was okay at that time, doesn't mean every regular man has to do it. Polygamy was a norm back then but Ani was shown to be way ahead of his time. He isn't a regular man, thats why he was the hero. Thats why people loved him, because in every circumstance he tried to do the right thing.
I have never ever asked or wanted anything even remotely romantic between Rudhita not atleast till Bondita is an adult. I was even okay with his no touch policy unless its absolutely necessary. Makers showed a growing bond between them. If they wanted to show this as an unhappy marriage why even show such deep attachment between Rudhita?
Anirudh was shown to be a man of such high principles. According to makers he is someone who has very good sense of right and wrong. He was the one who refused to marry Mini because its an insult to first wife and injustice to both women. And today he isn't even feeling remorse for marrying again. I am not talking about his reasons or intentions. Its immaterial right now. There is no justification for polygamy. Period. So no matter what there can never be a right reason for doing it.
Even child marriage is wrong I agree. I am not justifying it. But circumstances were completely different. He wanted to desperately save her life. It was his choice to do it though he didn't have many options. But Did Bondita force or ask him to marry her? He dumped that decision on her. Nor am I saying he should accept her as wife or act according to society's expectations. But didn't he have any other choice left this time? Did he try whatever he can to make her understand? He expected her to understand him. When she couldn't, he took this way which is agin very against his character and wrong on so many levels. As long as she was following whatever he told he was okay with she being his wife. But when she started straying away from his expected path or having a crush on him or wanted to be acknowledged as his wife he suddenly wants annulment. He was the one who married her, she didn't ask him to. If he had so much problem with the marriage why didn't he annul it the very next day or send her to hostel back then when she had no emotional attachment with him?
He speaks so highly of himself. Why can't he differentiate between right and wrong. If his ultimate goal was sending her away to hostel he could have done that without marriage drama. He could have just asked her to go or asked Sumati to convince her. Why marry and commit polygamy. After doing this he really has no moral high ground over anyone.
@pink- sorry I don't agree here. He didn't do the right thing. He himself said a few days back how wrong polygamy is and he himself went ahead with it. I am not saying his intentions are wrong but his good intentions are not justifications for his wrong actions.
@green- I agree child marriage is wrong. But polygamy isn't a reason for it being wrong. There are many things they have shown that Bon is facing to tell that child marriage is wrong. They didn't have to show this marriage and destroy Ani's character. Just to show child marriage is wrong they can't completely butcher ML's characterization that formed the essence of this story. They are making it show like if a girl wants to be a regular wife she has to face the malaise of polygamy😕 its coming out like people become strong and independent only if they face these kind of circumstances and get heart broken. Can't women have good personal as well as professional lives? And what if Bondita didn't want to be a barrister? Is it wrong for her to just want to be a homemaker? Shouldn't it be her choice to decide for herself?
Ani-Manorama marriage is really pointless and illogical and its not just some small detail that people can forget. They have made a joke out of marriage. Even in serials set in normal times people don't marry so casually
