Is it wrong for a single mom to have another man in her life - to date or even marry? But that’s exactly the impression Katha has given this impressionable child! It reflects her own mindset that she should never again date/marry a man. How archaic! How itv!
This line had been treated lightly in this show, almost like a joke but it is toxic in its own way, feeding a conservative mindset that a single mum has no business thinking about a man, she must single-mindedly devote her life to her child. This line does not go with the progressive characterisation of Katha. She neednt or seek out a man, but surely she can’t believe it is wrong for someone like her to be with one?!
