Lets play devil advocate what would have happened if Murtasim caught Maryam out with a boy, and no in this version boy is actually a good guy. He would have dragged her home, possible locked her up. But what would he do then, he would INVESTIGATE the boy who dares to entice his sister. What happens after to Maryam who knows, but the point is Meerab failed where Murtasim would have acted differently. With great power comes great responsibility. Meerab is Sarpanch of KhanClan and Khaleesi of KhanDom where is her due diligence? Is she fighting for Maryam or is she trying to rewrite her past, does she even know?
I feel after every episode I have to remind myself and TBA, this isn't a story about advocating for if love marriage is correct or if arranged marriage is correct, or taking a genuine stand on any social issues. Meerab and Murtasim are fated to be, but come together under the premise of forced marriage to create tension in the story, the premise was never a crime it was destiny. Discussing forced marriages being wrong, justice for women is all irrelevant, just as pointless as discussing if pixie is psycho or not.
TB is about a man's POV and how he gets to his happily ever after. He is on a journey through his trials and tribulations to win his love. The woman he loves is his test and she will put him through his trials. The woman he adores has lost her identity, her sense of self and is a confused individual with self esteem issues. She is not able to see, recognize or believe in her husband's love for her, because the betrayal she faced has destroyed her ability to love. Her judgement is compromised partly because of her trauma and partly because she is naive. Through his trials he not only has to help himself he has to help her too. What is a kingdom without a King, and what is a king without his Queen. The king has to save his realm, as his Queen strives to earn her title. Long may they reign.
