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.
I think MZ was planning this from before...even before the izzat ke badle izzat drama. His mentality has been shown like this since the very beginning.
Agreed, a lot of it is to do with the culture. I mean using women or for that matter any person for revenge is the lowest of the low. And MB is no saint, nor is KMK. They f* ucked up as well.
MBs habit of forcing her decisions on others without thinking about the consequences. What if Nourez wasn't the good guy? Why would a mother force her daughter in a relationship she doesn't want? Anas or no Anas. Marriage needs to happen for the right reason and hopefully with the right person. Just because it worked out in MMs (mostly because of KMK) case doesn't mean it always will.
KMK, in a way did give Mariyam's love a chance but the whole forced marriage thing doesn't sit well. He knows what happens when the other person is not ready...why would he do the same to someone else? What if Nourez doesn't have the same patience as he did with Meerub? He was forced into this relationship and in a way he saw the struggle, he saw how difficult it is. Why wouldn't he and MB give Mariyam some time to get over it. The other thing I found weird is how he handled Mariyam and warned her to stay away and get ready for her forced marriage. This is not how you handle things irl. He could have done better, he could have shown Mariyam the proof that the guy is not right. He is in love, he understands the emotions and feelings attached but he didn't. So no, he didn't handle it well.
I really feel when a decision makers takes a decision he needs to be transparent with his people (especially in such circumstances). He found Anas shady but he didn't realize Mariyam/Meerub didn't. He could have done something to prove that something isn't right....he could have ensured that Mariyam & Meerub saw the same with their own eyes instead of him just blindly asking them to do as he says.
