the story doesn't make sense because they didn't reshoot it. all of this is meant to follow marital rape and from that point of view, it makes sense - the events that follow, meerab ka ghar chorna, murtasim ka khud se gussa and feeling like he let her down, feelings of betrayal, meerab not going home because she's terrified of her parents sending her back to murtasim, etc. they edited out that part and are making it seem consensual, which is why none of it now makes sense.
Vibe, if you can take the pains to, follow up with the posts I've made in the last 2-3 threads (going to my profile and under the TB thread will show you the number/links of posts I've made so far unless that feature changed while I wasn't active around on IF), you'll see that the members here are mostly divided into two categories. One that thinks that there was no MR in the plot originally and it was just cheap publicity strategy to keep us on hook only to reveal later on that it was angry consensual sex and two, the people who think there was an MR in the plot originally but they had to backtrack because of the criticism, backlash and protests they faced. Both sections with regards to the MR or no MR in the plot presented some solid arguments and debates and each side made great points.
While I can't claim that I'm too sure, I'm still inclined to think that there was an MR originally in the plot and everything had been shot accordingly. Especially after today's episode because why else would Meerub be worried that Waqas-Anila will pack her off to Murtasim again? Aur pack off kar bhi diya toh kya pareshani hain? Just because you rightfully consummated your marriage with your own consent (even if in the moment of heat, anger or frustration?) Also, if a child is born out of that consummation, what sense does it make for Meerub to keep her away from Murtasim for 2 years? Because she had consensual sex with the child's father and she's embarassed about that?
Nothing, absolutely nothing adds up at this point and we'll only know going forward as more episodes come up, esp with the way they'll choose to edit, add flashbacks and voiceovers.
