Drupati's vastrapaharan : many people believe it's duryodhan and dushasan's mistake , they are main culprits... But in my view they are not... I feel main culprits are Pandavas, Bheeshma who have capacity and ability to stop it but they didn't... Because yudishtar is bound with so called promise, his brothers bound with their brother promise and Bheeshma with his promise and they named it dharma .... Every one though about their own bookish ritual dharma ( traditional what is correct) and forgot the ethical dharama ( what is right to do in given situation)....
Same applies her , as per situation malvik shadi might be legal traditional but not ethical.... If really in future vikranth gets to know what malla did and still he forgives her and wants to love and move on with her ... I really will not have any problem.... But in current situation malvik marriage is ethically very very wrong ...and aise shadi ko lifetime nibhana is like asking a girl to live happily with her abuser.... Shadi ko life long nibhana kaise bhi ho is the main reason for most of the partners suicide or abuse in the marriage...
Very well said and here the marriage is unethical though it may be legal is what most of us are trying to convey.
Just because a sham of a marriage happened based on deceit how is it fair to let Vikrant live in this lie and shame. Why is it wrong for Mannat to go all out to protect Vikrant and for her love (some even have a problem with this & calling Mannat selfish for trying to get her love back ) when she realized she played a small part in this tragedy? Calling her names just shows the regressive mentality of the society which wants to uphold the marriage based on sexual explotation and let the victim suffer.
Bold, again very well said
Regarding Mahabharata, a brilliant parallel you brought up. At the fear of hurting sentiments I will keep it short 🫣, all the folks in that sabha were cursed if you remember for upholding their titles , their oath etc etc at the expense of Draupadi's honor.
That is exactly what is happening here, people want to uphold a criminal wedding at the expense of Vikrant who is a victim of sexual crime and they want Mannat to stay mute and close her eyes like Bheeshma and other .
