I know everyone has their theories on what Zaid’s Mein is - his guilt or his stubbornness for Ayra. Could it be both along with his Mein holding him back from fully accepting MJ?
Zaid's mein seems to be his adamance that he should not be fooled.
Prior to marriage he didn't realise he was being taken for a ride. Once that was disclosed, his mein surfaced. Till then it was self respect - I can do this much for Mubashira, but I won't go beyond that.
Before marrying Ayra - his Zidd became his mein. He was upset he was fooled, so he became adamant and unreasonable.
After marrying Ayra, his mein did not surface again because Mubashira took great care not to irritate him and even tried to stop Asif from insulting him...with Ayra's behaviour there was no scope for his mein, since she made him indebted to his dad for putting up with her demands.
Now the mein has resurfaced - he is agitated that he has been fooled and refuses to trust anyone but Ayra. His mein was never as strong as MJ's or Ayra's, I feel.
Why he refuses to accept MJ- right now too many things stacked against her and he sees her as part of his dad's plan.
Now they are at a point where there is not even Kash to think about if he wants to divorce MJ. It is just that he doesn't have that fear of losing her since she has been with him throughout. Once that comes, and there's no pressure from his family, may be he will process what she means to him.
Even the first time he threatened to divorce her, he was feeling bad about doing this since he knew it'd hurt her, but he had to do what was right because his dad was a reason Ayra's brother died.
