No it cannot be compared... because all the expectations were only from Mannat and all the harshest treatment was only reserved for her.
Other 2 will get what they want very easily.
Granted she made a mistake, but she apologized as well. Immediately...
He was and still is in love with Mannat. Is not with other 2.... Had a secret wedding with Mannat ... slept with her.
With Malla he faced the same situation and agreed to it in guilt.
With Y there is no such situation yet he agrees to the wedding to placate her parents.
If guilt tripping by parents is the criteria (which is what happened with Malla and now with Y) ... then shouldnt the requests from everyone including RoTu and Gagan matter????
In Mallas situation too, he faced a crisis where it was a question on his character... and he did fall prey to the EB.
Mannat had given proofs... pleaded to get married and even told him she will apologize to him all their life... it wasnt enough????
Gagan ka to koi role nahi tha... that man literally put his pagdi down on Viks feet... in a social construct thats the lowest a ladki ka baap can go... what about his request??? Usko to accept kar leta!!!!
Worst of all... Vik knowingly slept with Mannat... shouldn't he respect atleast that????
If he can marry Malla for a fake ONS... but which he believed to be true at that moment... what about Mannats izzat?????
The comparison Kidult posted is valid because Vik seems to keep all expectations from Mannat and asked her to show him the right path (on terrace wedding)... but when she does try to do that he refuses to see it that way...
More importantly during the terrace wedding vik made some requests to Mannat ... Mannat has to be righteous at all times but Vik can falter. On that night, among the promises he made and requests he did... he never figured she can fail too... and what will he do if she does???? Will he forgive her???
The result of what will he do was seen in the actual wedding.
He could have got married and still kept hating Mannat, not forgiven her all her life .. but didnt give her that leeway too. He asked for more proofs before completing the wedding.
On the funeral day too... he didnt try to resolve anything. So no.. it doesnt look like he would have got married to Mannat after Shrutis death as well.
Very simply... if giving time to process his emotions was the reason.... there was their whole life where Mannat would have given him time.... it is he who didnt give that courtesy to Mannat.
