Me being in 2020 i'm not okay with this...i will not support it....if a woman got pregnant at the age of 13 it was wrong...it is wrong...it will remain wrong till the end of time for me...n Anirudh himself wants to change the society....if we give him a pass saying us time pe hota tha....is show ka...uske character ka purpose is defeated.Originally posted by: Arcturus_S
When we discuss about attraction, we have to think about the era of the show too. It was hundred years back and then such marriages between a 12 year and 22 year old were considered perfectly ok, like the present day 18 and 21 years. Even reformers like Tagore did the same. He was 22 and his wife 12, when they got married and their first child was born when his wife was just 13. This was the prevailing social and cultural scenario of the historical setting of BB. Even the Child Marriage Restraint Act in 1929 made the marriagable age of girls just 14, an age which will come under present day POCSO Act. We cannot judge the characters completely based on the present day moral scale. When it is a period drama, we have to consider the historical era too while analyzing a character.
Anirudh is way ahead of his times. He had every opportunity to act upon his impulses but he chose another way. Instead of binding Bon to him, he had decided to set her free which was a great step at that time. He had openly told this to Bon that he had annulled their marriage not because he wanted freedom from her or their relation but because he wanted Bon to be absolutely free from all the social bindings and expectations.
I believe shipping actors and shipping characters are entirely different. Viewers have absolute freedom to say whatever they want about the characters but not about the actors. I consider Anirudh and Bondita separate from Pravisht, Aurra and Anchal .
Just putting down my views ; didn't mean to offend anyone
