I think it is easy to blame people, but I would blame mostly on the culture.
The whole izzat ke badle izzat crap that might have started this.
Using women for revenge or punishment because they are treated as ghar ki izzat.
Not asking or caring for your childs opinion when marrying them.
Being so strict that you own daughter feel like it is easier to run away from home with a person that she has know couple of months rather than talking to her family. I get that Anas manipulated her into believing that her family would never accept them, but she didn't trust her own family in this matter. And the way most of them reacted after finding out about Anas, explains why she was scared of talking to them.
The series problem is that it will not take up any of this issues and just highlight Murtasims pain and how he was betrayed, how Meerub is wrong and what Maryam has to deal with because she didn't listen to her family.
