This was infact the truth of that era.. a woman who was forced to be sati was infact left to live at the mercy of society for her child and bcos of a male figure be it the mallicious brother itself.. She had no other way, in a society which ask women to forsake all she has wealth, food, happiness bcos her husband is no more, to be submissive to his brother for food and accommodation... The 'spine' we are expecting is something the woman in our present society have gathered over the time.. At the earlier times, the whole idea of CHA, sati shown in tracks have been an eye opener for me about the journey of women to have all those things we are granted today..
Sumati was indeed made a puppet in 2nd marriage track by being sided with ARC simply for Mano's track.. It gave no justification.. She failed as a mother, but I felt it was more of writers obsession for the track to be single handedly done by ARC
Apart from that greater part of her helplessness was this sad truth
i. e the plight of womanhood in that dark era
be it.
