I feel the moral which the creatives are trying to show is in the wrong direction. They are showing the moral at the end as though someone is opposing widow remarriage in the serial, but in the show as of yesterday everyone were convinced for widow remarriage and were happily celebrating. I could not see anyone opposing it till they came to know of pregnancy. That is very natural even open minded educated people who accept widow remarriage cannot accept such a situation and Madan singh was right in his anger. It would have been even fine if the girl is pregnant from previous wedding but since Suguna is pregnant even though the previous wedding didnt happen, its a mess piled up from Suguna's end.
Am truly fed up of Suguna now if marriage is fixed she cries, if marriage is broken she cries. She should have aborted the child as she is too young to take any such responsibilty. If Gehna thinking of aborting is right then even Suguna aborting should be right.
But have to say that yesterday's episode was awesome and outstanding acting by Dadisa and Madan singh 👏👏👏

i agree...message given is all wrong. first the support suguna keeping her baby on emotional grounds while all the while opposing women having kids too early in life. now they make the whole thing seem anti widow remarriage.

wedding happened....that is why she is a widow...because her husband died...and you have a husband only after a wedding...
what didn't happen was sending her to her in-laws...that is the meaning of 'gauna'...nothing but a bidai...so basically they were husband and wife...
gehna was supposed to abort because her body was too weak to carry the child...which could mean many things not just age.
it is not easy to abort a child made in love ...especially if that is all you have left...yes it is sopyy but such is life...human beings are soppy sentimental creatures.

we all the the circumstances and why each woman reacted the way she did...my point is ambiguous message given by the show. if they really are serious abt social issues then they must give some messages which are practical like widows getting an education. but we suddenly cannot have ppl agreeing to get their sons married to pregnant widows happily.

Messages are given in the context of episode... if you remember the episode where they announced her pregnancy, the message was something like - things done in youth can have repercussions for a lifetime.
Education for widows is fine and they did start sending Suguna to school (after a lot of drama) and Phooli is still going. But Suguna's circumstances have changed and Dadisa stopped her...and that is the story they are focussing on.
If a widower/divorcee with kids wants to marry society doesn't bat an eyelid, then why different rules for women? In all this for me, that is the ultimate question? Why different rules for women?

When a man with a child and no wife is getting married, his new wife is expected to love and take care of that child unconditionally.
If a women has a child (whether pregnant or already born) why shouldn't she expect to have a husband in the same way?
Why should parents/society/anybody have an objection? I know I am talking about an ideal world and relailty is different but I feel that is the crux of the matter here...
we are all so conditioned to the ways of society that we are questioning as to why should we expect Shyam's parents to agree? My question is why shouldn't we? their son likes/loves her, he knows the entire truth, is happy to bring up someone else's child, and wants to spend the rest of his life with her...then why not?

my thinking is different...change doesnt occur suddenly...if it does happen then there are chances that the changes may backfire and revert back to being even more regressive. one example was dadisa realizing how much she was hurting suguna and phooli by calling them apshagun when someone else thought suguna would be apshagun. now dadisa is back to considering madan singh's widowed daughter-in-law apshagun.
but if change is gradual with characters undergoing a true change of heart due to realization then it will bring on true change of heart. the messages given at the end of the show is not really for city-types and nris sitting at their laptops and tying away but for those ppl living in small town and villages who prolly are planning to their get their little daughter married off. would this audience find the moral of getting their son married to pregnant widow palatable? but im sure the idea of giving their daughters and daughters-in-law an education would go down better. if we really want to talk of equality of rights for men and women lets start with the right to education-when a married jagya can continue his schooling why cant his married sister and wife? lets reach some level of equality there first.
