Both Manjari and Akshara hid the paternity of their sons, Neil and Abhir, respectively and both have compelling reasons for the same.
Manjari adopted Neil who was an illegitimate son of her husband. The husband who never respected her, abused her as we have seen in the show. Neil's birth mother left him in an orphange that means Neil was abandoned by her but Manjari for years foster his need, visited him made sure he is Okay and one day she adopted him cause her Son Abhimanyu refuses to go back home with out Neil. One thing here is that Manjari adopted Neil legally so not committing any crime or fraud. The way Harsh used to behave we never know how he could have reacted if Manjari told him about his son from his affair. There is a high chance he would have harmed him too. So whatever Manjari did she did it with the intention of protecting Neil.
Whereas Akshara decided not tell Abhimanyu the truth ever after that Phone call in which he said 'Nahi matlab hai usse aur bache se". But even then she was aware that Abhimanyu doesn't know she is pregnant. Hence, he rejected Akshara and not the baby. Though I understand her stand at that point. It is what she did afterwards is the topic of this discussion. She hid her pregnancy from her family and everyone including her friend and lived with Abhinav. Then came the day Abhir was born and she made a conscious choice of making Abhinav the father of a baby whose real father is alive and unaware of his birth. She forged the government documents and made Abhinav the legal father in front of the society and her family. For 6 years she hid this truth but when the truth was out in clear yet she refuses to accept Abhimanyu as the father of her son. Maybe this is what she meant when she said usko nahi sunna hai na ab woh poochega bhi na tab bhi nahi btaungi.
Contrary to popular belief, Akshara's primary reason for concealing Abhir was not solely his well-being. If her intentions were solely focused on protecting her child, she would not have made any attempts to communicate with Abhimanyu. It is important to acknowledge that Akshara understands Abhimanyu's unwavering love for his babies and his commitment to keeping them safe from harm. The initial catalyst for her actions stemmed from her own emotional turmoil and hurt. Though I agree that Akshara's love for Abhir cannot be undermined or dismissed. In her desire to maintain a close bond with her child, she sought to create a loving and secure environment for him. This quest for happiness led her to build a new family in Kasauli with Abhinav as her husband and Abhir's father. However, it is crucial to note that the foundation of this family was built on a lie, which raises ethical questions in court and now the house of card has fallen.
Also, I don't understand why the blame on Abhimanyu for breaking her family when in reality all he did is got his rights back. She is still with Abhinav and Abhimanyu is not denying their legal as well as emotional rights on Abhir. For me it is tough to relate to their DDP coz they were aware of the web of lies they weaved.
Debatable Morality:Ascertaining the moral rightness or wrongness of Manjari and Akshara's actions is subjective, as every individual possesses a distinct moral compass.
Contrasting Perspectives:One significant difference between Manjari and Akshara's cases lies in their adherence to the law. Manjari followed legal procedures when adopting Neil, ensuring transparency and avoiding criminal activities. Conversely, Akshara, despite studying law, defied legal boundaries by falsifying documents and denying Abhimanyu his parental rights.
So Morally it can be anything but Legally Akshara is wrong.
