Kal Eid nahi hai, nahi Murtasim mara hai. 😭
Okay jokes aside, I'll share my honest opinions about characters from today's episode, although I watched it through live updates on twitter but I still know what happened.
Meerab was 💯 correct in taking the stand for Maryam. Her stance and point was absolutely correct, but Khan family's females are the epitome of stupidity so Maryam did exactly what a stupid girl will do.
Maa Begum's character was one of my favorite in the show after Murtasim but now she nowhere is likable in my eyes. The parents who emotionally blackmails are unacceptable and annoying to watch. It was also the reason as to why she wasn't my most favorite( I mentioned this in some older DT too) because this thing always bothered me that she blackmailed Murtasim in marriage as well. It's high time she changes her thinking for the sake of her daughter and don't ruin her life and emotions, just the way she did with her son.
Well I won't say anything about meerasim scene because I'll feel like punching Meerab. It feels as if Meerab thinks too high of herself and considers Murtasim as a disgusting piece of human being. Her reaction is grossing honestly.
Now coming to Murtasim's love elaboration, I don't agree with it at all but it can be explained through his upbringing and how he fell in love with Meerab only after she became his wife. The fact is that he didn't differentiate genders, it isn't about man and woman but just a human falling in love as he mentioned both genders. It's wrong but it's an actual representation of feudal family.
In Islam it is commanded for both man and woman to lower their gazes for the sake of protecting their heart from heartbreak but if you fall in love before marriage you must go towards Nikkah immediately, but in cultural families they ignore the possibility of falling in love before marriage in nurturing and only emphasizes upon love after marriage.
After pregnancy fiasco in his conversation with Maa Begum he said that she always taught him to protect relations and prevent them from crumbling, one of the reasons why he hasn't given up on Meerab till now. This and his love for Meerab shows that he is bound by the upbringing and morals taught. He couldn't think about going against them.
I'm nowhere justifying Murtasim's thinking but I'll say that it is understandable to see as to why he has this regressive thinking. This thinking was a part of his upbringing and the upbringing is deeply rooted in him, he can't change it unless someone points it out. I deeply hope through this track Meerab helps him in changing it and he changes it or else he can go to hell from my side.
