Concept of Matrimony in SP

SP shows a very distorted and wrong concept of matrimony from the Hindu point of view .
In SP it is shown that a Hindu sati kind of woman marries into the family and takes care of the whole family as her own .And such a woman is hailed within Hindu society as the noblest , the best .
It is very clear in Hinduism that yes , definetely a woman who marries should consider her husband's family as her own and serve them wholeheartedly but Hinduism stresses that her primary duty is towards her own husband and children first . The other duties follow this major one .
Yet we see Saloni destroying her own marraige and leaving Nahar , now , not acknowledging Sawri by putting other kids like Adi and Shweta before her and worshipping her in laws . According to Saloni , sacrificing own marital happiness , own kid for keeping in laws happy is the main purpose of a Hindu marraige . And it is a very wrong concept as Hinduism doesnt advocate this.
Why do parents marry their children off ? Coz they know they wil not live forever and they want to ensure that a proper spouse of their offspring ........the bahu in case of a son and a jamai in case of a daughter will take care of their child and give him and her security and happiness for life . They do this coz they know , each child of theirs will get married and have a seperate unit of his own .............his own wife , his own kids . They wil have other responsibilities and not be able to look after their brothers and sisters like them .........so each child is married off to have a seperate unit of his own and the bahu's primary duty is to look after her own unit.............her own husband comes first and her own children .
Instead we see Saloni defying this Hindu concept of matrimony . Tara and Brijesh's maraige comes first and so does Adi. Then , Shweta comes first . When her maayka is in deep trouble , Maayka comes first , but never Nahar and his only memory..........his child , Sawari .
Look at all the satis and pativratas in Hindu mythology on which these heroines r role modelled . Sita left her in laws and left with Ram to go to forest when he was banished .........in fact when he told her to live in the palace and serve her in laws she has told him firmly that her duty was to be with him first . Anasuya dedicated her life to her husband Atri , and Savitri has put Satyavan ahead and decided to follow him beyond death so she defied common custom of doing household chores and went with him to the forest on the day he was destined to die .
So what Hinduism r they exactly showing in SP ? Why is there not a single character in SP that explains to Saloni what truly marraige means ? That Tara Brijesh and Adi r a seperate unit , so is Dheer and Ishan , so is Pia , so is Samar Kaveri Kamini , and that her unit is Nahar and Sawri first and foremost ? That she can help them yes , but only after her duty to her unit first ?
Why is everyone saying poor Saloni see how others r bad they r accusing her etc ? Was keeping Nahar's sickness a secret a sensible thing to do ? Then ,keeping his death a secret was that sensible ? Was almost damaging her baby sensible ? Even now , is choosing Shweta over Sawri sensible ? She wrongly thinks that by making one child miserable she will accomplish the best for her other child ...........is this sensible ?
This same Saloni can become selfish and care a hang about poor Amrit's life and it is ok for her that he gives up his spritual life to solve her own family crisis ..........neither is he getting wordly happiness nor can he pursue his spiritual upliftment in this arrangement .........in fact , Amrit gets nothing , but Saloni cannot be selfish enough to keep her marraige intact and runs after Jiji , and she is not selifish enough to want the best for Sawri ..........so why 'poor ' Saloni ? Even her selfishness is misplaced !
Saloni can sacrifice herelf to save another human..........thats her choice . But can she make a choice on her child's behalf ? Is she given the right to almost damage her unborn baby physically by running , or now , by simply letting her suffer and pamper another ? Who has given Saloni the right not to reveal Nahars sickness , or to let Sawri suffer and only to do Tara pooja ? And if she does all these things . why is she hailed as 'poor Saloni '?
SP never brought in a character to show the fallacies of a totally distorted concept of a Hindu marraige . In fact , the way a Hindu marraige is shown in SP , people will think twice before marrying in a joint family . The lead heroine makes a spate of wrong decisions each time and is hailed as a great soul...........I wonder when this will stop .

You are right- Saloni's sense of selflessness is horribly misplaced!

Saloni is a loser!!!

Denying happiness to herself and trying to reach the heights of "Mahaantaa" is Saloni's biggest problem. I believe she needs psychiatrist treatment. I somehow never feel sympathetic towards Saloni "aunty".

So,Kaveri and tara SAY THE TRUTH 'SALONI TUMHE MAHAAN BANNEY KA SHOWKH HAI "..... Yeah,It's true,She does toooooooooooooooo many unnecessary things but overlooks her real duties!! She has NO RIGHT TO DEPRIVE SAWRi Even Amrit as Amrit loves her and she can at least defend him bcos he's done soooooo much just for Saloni?

Sometimes what Kaveri says , although nastily , is the bitter truth . I do not like her character at all ,but it is true that Saloni often , in her zest to do good , bulldozes over good people like Amrit , Sawri , Neel , and simply takes them for granted . She bends a lot in front of villainous people like kaveri , lali maasi , tara , jiji .....even her ungrateful mom ambika and now that chit of a girl..........shweta.
to this date she has been inefective against Tara and Kaveri but see how she ruthlessly cuts Amrit.
I do hope this changes , but i doubt it . Already hey r showing Sawri lets Shweta win in school competition .
