I do wonder when she thought of this plan. Was it after Haya speech or was it before. I think Haya words did rattle her, but no she always had this contract planned for days. Her primary objective from walking off the wedding was not to insult him, but to force his hand to sign the papers or even better call off the wedding. If he had known before the wedding about the contract it gives them too much time to manipulate her again. She wanted to put him in an impossible position just like she was, in a way that was her revenge. But the contract itself wasn't revenge, it was fear about her everything stolen from her and the last thing she had was her dignity and she wanted to hold on to that as long as possible. She also has a begrudging respect for Murtasim that he would comply with her wishes, hence her confidence in walking off without any fear.
I don't think she had all the time in the world to plan for some real revenge or this contract. It seems nothing else but an impulse. They weren't given time to court after they said yes to the marriage. They said yes and the very next day, it was their Mayoon. From Maa Begum's POV, she'd think of getting done with the wedding as soon as possible because in her words, Meerab's Mijaaz is pal mein tola, pal mein masha. She can't be trusted in this matter. It was a hasty wedding.
Haya's words did push her more though.
The contract seemed to be her last move to get away. She must have thought, if cornered like that, infront of the entire world, her 'NO' would be the last nail. Murtasim would himself deny the wedding. But what she didn't expect was Murtasim's acceptance. He compromised with his ego there and let the super-ego get the best out of him.
As soon as he signs the contract, a tear drops from her face.
