We know the writers believe he is engaged in a crime because everyone on the show hid the matter and they themselves have expressed shame or have gone to lengths to cover it.
My usage of the term is not based on religious beliefs. A better argument is that it is based on India's law. In India, a person cannot be married legally to more than one person; such action is criminal and bigamy. The fact that some religion does not see it as a crime is not relevant. In India it is a crime. By the moderators now privileging religious beliefs over law, it further constrains those who are not religious.
Does this mean from now on there will be consistency where we privilege religion over the country's laws in other scenarios. Well, then Neeti can't be called criminal because there is such a thing as just killing in most religious systems. It can be argued it is just to kill a woman who is interfering with your marriage since marriage is sacrosanct; too bad about that pesky thing called law, that says it is a crime.
Seriously, there is no reason why we should not be allowed to call Sanju/Rajiv a bigamist because that is what he is doing on our screen. I think the rule is arbitrary.
Most importantly, in addition to the legal argument, Rajiv is portrayed as a Hindu not another religion. In Hinduism, bigamy is not allowed. If others following another religion disagree, it does not apply. This is a Hindu character and Hindu laws apply.
There are other boards on this site that are literally dead. You go there and the last thread is a month ago. This is an active board because people can discuss the show and the characters freely.
I don't know how this will pan out now.
However, I have clearly stated my objection and I am not the moderator.
@underlined:
No babe...It is considered crime only acc to some religions in india.Not all our indian laws are against it.
you are one of my fav but i have to put my point.i hope you will get it from text below.
Here in india,the religion is the prime reason of indian laws related to marriage and bigamy.
Religion is the base where our indian laws of marriage have been made.
I mean to say
there are different indian laws as per the religions present in india.
Example:(this is a excerpt)
polygamy became illegal in India in 1956, uniformly for all of its citizens except for Muslims, who are permitted to have four wives and for Hindus in Goa and along the western coast where bigamy is legal. A polygamous Hindu marriage is null and void.
@bold:-->i agree with you fully the point you have put here .as the drama's characters are depicted as hindu.therefore we are against it.as it is against our indian laws also.
even there are some tribes in india where bigamy is followed.
so yes there are different indian laws for different religions as per particular religion.
I always put my point acc to the religion.
coz there is another show on zee where there 2 wives are permitted.pr unke religion m chalta hai and hence acc to indian laws vo allowed h.
there is a protection act for them in indian law where it is allowed.
I hope you got my point.
P.S:
they are hindu that's why bigamy is criminal activity.
Not because
bigamy is not allowed in india.
Also in hindu marriages -->if first wife has no problem with second wife.It is also allowed.
(beshari se rhna h to raho--phir b second marriage acc to law null and void hi h)
That's why many youtubers like armaan malik are making content on youtube.coz their first wife has no problem with second one.
Hence this whole drama is based on bigamy.I think they will get to a point where both wives will not have any problem with each other in future...
Abhi neeti to prob h to hum log bol skte h rajeev is a bigamist and a criminal.
Par jis din neeti aur pari dono maan gayi rajeev ke liye-->then it is allowed.
Even i know someone who is a hindu and has two wives (aur unki wives ko koi dikkt nahi)
and they are always the talk of town
