At 8 in the eyes of all she became bahu from bachi and after mensturation aurat.. Whatever we say Ani was the only one who considered her child. On contrary Batuk was happily a child. See the progression or (downfall) of Bon from the time she came RCs to now,but Batuk is the same.
Considering girls marrying off 8_9 to becoming mothers at around 13, the line between child and women fades away in that society. Even the girls would have been mentally conditioned for that, A 14 year old then would have more idea than we us 14 year old, because of the exposure, happenings around, although it was a hard learning. Bon irrespective of being a child serves all duty of a woman, the only aspect she is a child is about her idea of marital love and intimacy, that too only because her husband is ARC
@bold: True, Many of the women oriented plots and Ani's outlooks was so good particularly in the initial tracks
