No, I agree to all of you are saying but I don't think he entirely anticipated for her to agree. Going back to the PD track, Pooja and I had a huge conversation about how religious marriage is paramount to her. While, yes, she's reckless with her life when it comes to saving Aditya's life, it's hard for me to fathom how she'd make a mockery of matrimony like this. She has never shied away from fighting Aryan. Aryan was smart enough to give her two options that would make him reach his end-goal either way.
She did not put up a lot of resistance is what I am saying. Like Bea was saying, she was willing to beat the shit out of Aru when she resigned. Generally, proposing marriage as a cope-out should have triggered an equally explosive reaction from her. I wonder whether, subconsciously, she found the idea or Aru's machinations distasteful. If I am making any sense.
i think multiple things are true here
1) she associates the good and bad parts of marriage with aditya, so having any form of marriage associated with someone else is deeply scary to her
2) she may not consciously want aditya or love aditya anymore, but she unwillingly cares for him and willingly cares for his family - she sees this wedding, fake or not, as an insult to that family, and to whatever little is remaining between her and aditya (humanity, possible friendship, just a little teensy bit of respect?)
3) she sees shaadi as "pavitra" and all that jazz, and that's why she doesn't want this pure relationship or her pure relationship with sita maiya to be tainted with this "wedding"
4) she still, somewhere in her brain, implicitly trusts aryan, no matter how angry she is at him right now
- all these: her feelings for the tripathis, lingering care for aditya, her strong belief in respecting the institutions that God/Sita Maiya sees as pavitra, and her implicit trust of Aryan -- they're all mixing together and causing major emotion sickness.
