After reading reactions about unpopular press conference here & on twitter, haven't watched last Fri KA episode fully, so no comments yet on that. 😔
As I lamented earlier Writing & execution of Viraj's past revelation episodes could have been much better, if narrative was more from Viaan's POV 😳like as a teenager what lies he was fed Vs what was the truth? as Viaan was one who got embroiled in elders choices & decisions the most, but not to point or whitewash who is wrong here Teji, Viraj or Seema? still feel that presser in office wasn't needed.

I agree with you; I think this is what was intended by one set of writers and it would have been accurate given how the court system worked in those days.
I made a post regarding that few days back.

HOWEVER, they totally goofed up their intent by doing a saccha wala pyaar dialogue that was totally unnecessary. the makers faulty writing made it seem like EMA was acceptable and all these details got lost.
if they had just gone with the legal route, then you could argue that everyone -- man or woman -- have a right to get a divorce if they want and move on to a new relationship if they wish. they can't held hostage by their former spouse.
a while back, I read in the paper of a case where the judge dismissed the husband's petition and gave the divorce for the wife. he said that a court cannot force two people to be together when one has no wish to. the court also has no right to stop her getting married if she wishes to. so divorce was granted.
that is the current legal thinking and also accepted by society these days.
