There was a scene where Meerab in half white salwar looking oh so innocent as rose maiden when asked by Murtasim to look into his eyes and tell does she still hate him she tells him something on lines of just like one moment is enuf to fall in love with someone, one moment is enuf to stop hating. Murtasim in all his defence went ahead with this marriage with clean slate and no grudges , he knows she is not willing , will thrown tantrums but no where he has any idea she is in for revenge. He is someone who talks and takes things on face, not the twisted types .
I don’t think any chauvinistic ,misogynistic males signing contracts and even upholding it! Nothing on earth is stopping him from taking her by force, she won’t be able to do anything. Unfortunately justice system doesn’t take such contracts seriously.
Like someone rightly pointed He has been bought up to be protector, for that he needs to run by some rules else he won’t be able to protect his people and in turn he wont be able to command the respect of his people. I don’t find him Regressive in fact he is someone who doesn’t take his authority questioned easily . If he lets meerab do that in public then he will give lee way for other voices to raise. Meerab is also egoistic and impulsive ( established) she had safe and secured life , quick to question and fight but doesn’t freaking offer a solution. To em she is Greta Thunberg generation who travels by flights / cars and questions about environmental pollution and never plants a tree. Even to an idiot it’s clear Murtasim is being salty about whole kidnapping and shooting so she should have used different tactic to get him on our side instead of questioning him given she very well knows him since childhood. Like I said she raises voice but doesn’t want solution ,It’s like my way or no way types . After all that drama she has audacity to tell him why is he over reacting to the whole thing.like seriously after the way nila did a u turn , anyone else will just stay silent but no we have mouth we have to talk.
Murtasim does have ego and temper issues but give him valid reason , tell him softly he will listen to you , he is more practical and logical of two else I don’t see why would a man like Murtasim sleep on sofa or eat fish or even support his wife against his mother . He has been peace flag barrier between both his wife and mother ,trying to explain where yeh other person is coming from and make them understand the other person POV.
In precap did she tell haya she wants to ask Murtasim why he saved her by risking his own life ?? I mean if Murtaism has pea sized brain , her brain is non existent.
