But this is not there place to have their say. Divorce happens between husband and wife when nothing works out between them, it is never first option in any marriage. Yes, elders involvement helps in some situations but adultery for me is not that situation. It is completely Tejo and Fateh's call and they both don't want to be in this marriage.
One dialogue of Fateh's grandfather irked me a lot. He said Fateh ko toh akal nahi hai but Tejo ko rok sakte the. What does he mean by that? This is very typical dialogue in misogynistic household, where the guy can do whatever he wants but girl has to be understanding. If he care so much about Tejo's reputation then he should slap his grandson and throw him out of the house and declare it in front of the world how he wronged their daughter in law.
Fateh himself don't want any rescue act then why his family is hell bent on doing it on his behalf. He chose Jasmeen as his future and brought her back in his present. He is an adult and has made his call. Why they treat him as someone who is manipulated and naïve person when he is not. He has dug his own grave and now he should lay in it. Even if family wants to put rescue act, Tejo should not be mean to it.
They have already made one mistake to save family's reputation by getting these 2 married and now they want to make second mistake by forcing them to be in this marriage without their will. 2 wrongs can never make one right. Tejo has made her stand clear, Virk's and Sandhu's should atleast respect this decision now.
I completely agree to what u say and I'm in support of it but we have to understand it's another generation all together that has been fed this marriage is meant till u die rubbish for generations. It takes time and it's a reality, infact agar woh dikhate ki everyone is in favour of it toh woh unrealistic hota as hakikat alag hain, families in India function differently marriage is not just about the two involved individuals but also everybody else .No matter how much we try to explain all relatives feel it's their birth right to keep poking their nose in the middle.
Our generation gets frustrated cause luckly we belong to a generation that has more exposure and has the capacity to think beyond societal pressure. With time virks to will accept but it's a long process. It doesn't mean they don't care about Tejo it's just that they are on a different tangent and will need time to understand that.
It's a very stupid example but mujhe batao hum Monday ko Monday aur Sunday ko Sunday kyu bolte hain, why have none of us ever questioned it, that is because we were taught and feed this since we were babies it's the same with virk family which is true to major Indian families generations and generations ka crap filled in their minds won't change overnight it will happen over a period of time.
After EMA no victim must stay in a marriage aur mera khudh ka khoon kholta hain yeh virks ka bartaav dekh ka but wahi reality hain society ka ki marriage no matter what must not be broken till the end.
Ur maharashtrian and u must have heard that Kande pohe sai tamhankar wala song usma there is a beautiful line
Natyanch ya bazaratun vikratyanchi daati ani mhane toh vaarcha tharva kshata janmachya gathi ,roj naatave, roj sajave dharun asha khoti , pane mitune lajalupari punha ughadnya sathi
Aayusha he chuli varlya kadhaitla kande pohe.
Meaning we humans trick ourselves believing uparwala jodiya banata hain but in reality rishton ki boli aur uska tamasha baazar main hum khud lagte hain.
Chahe jitni baar rejection mila phir shringar Karo, phir wahi sajna savarna all to be rejected over and over again
Kyuki zindagi is like chulha par kadhai main bane kande pohe.
It's a reality and the virks will learn it a hard way that their jerk of a son is just as responsible and that it's not Tejo's job to sudharo him.
She has and must break away and none of them have the right to keep her in a toxic marriage as she to deserves love and happiness.
Sorry for the long post but it's from personal experience it happens in families that belong to a higher class, are educated as well. They just have trouble thinking beyond societal pressure.
