Meerab was held accountable for her every interaction with rohail both onscreen and offscreen
She faced character assasination by her own parents, asked to jump to prove her innocence.
This time too, she will face consequences.
But lucky murtasim never held responsible. Meerab stupidly belives his explanation whenever she caught him with haya.
Audience already had one constant explanation - She is his cousin so he can do anything.
He is not wrong because he claims to love meerab.
Yeh konsi audience hai - are people really saying haya can do anything coz she is his cousin...wow
On accountability of Merub vs Murtasim over Rohail vs Haya:
I agree.
But isn't this very obvious that this is a pro-Murtasim script. If you see both Nooran and Siraj interviews, they both seemed in love with Murtasim. The way Merub's character has been degraded and given no monolog is very telling.
So are you saying because Nooran and Siraj have done Merub dirty, we the viewers needed to step up and zealously hold Murtasim accountable? And conversely, since Merub's character has been so neglected, we the viewers need to now overlook her wrongs as recompense?
This is a very different optic to assessing characters and their actions.
OTH, I was assessing Merub based on her actions that we see on screen. Based on that, how Merub interacts with Rohail is wrong. But also, how MK deals with Haya is very wrong. But they do not cancel out each other. Murtasim's male feudal lord privilege further shields him from being held accountable for his actions (or lack thereof) but that is also wrong morally and ethically. The audience must therefore call out Murtasim for it but this does mean deifying Merub in lieu and overlooking any mistakes she makes.
