Chalo maan liya they are divorced and Anupama handed over the custody to Anuj though it's not legally possible but now tell me one thing which woman will abandon her 9 year old kid over an argument with her husband? Don't come up with the excuse that she was hurt by his accusations. Vanraj and her bio kids have said far more demeaning and humiliating things to her yet she never left their side. She kept saying "Maa hona kaise chhod dun" despite knowing that her kids are adult and can manage in their own but she discarded ca like trash. Anupama knew she was an orphan child who longed for mother's love. She was aware that her fear and insecurities are an outcome of constant neglect and humiliation she suffered at the hands of Shahs. What did she do to allay her fears? The kid was living under an impression that her mother would leave her someday coz she is adopted and Anupama exactly did the same. Do u even realize how she must have processed this trauma? Abandoning an orphan kid is an unpardonable sin. No amount of justification can undo this. That's all!
They r said to be legally divorced as discussions about alimony during divorce has been shown in the show. In one of the scenes Shruthi had questioned whether Anu has claimed any alimony from Anuj during divorce when she called Anu a gold digger. Also when V doubted Anu might have done robbery when she got arrested ,Kinjal countered his accusation saying Anu hasn't claimed any alimony from Anuj during divorce. From all these dialogues it is very much clear that MaAn is legally divorced and like alimony there will be a mutual agreement regarding the custody of the child.
I don't presume things. just stating u facts which r shown and said in the show.
