What wrong did she commit. She just told the truth that she was kiddnapped and kept overnight. What part did she play in the kidnapping???? She was the victim. So how did she shame her Maayka and Sasural. If her in-laws have double standards how is it her fault. The poor girl has been thru enough drama. Now her husband and in-laws are adding to it. What happned to his promise that he will always tbe here for her.I can understand that he is hurt but I hope when he cools down he will realize how his actions have added to her problems.I agree she should go home. because her in-laws are not going to give her any peace.

I agree with you that as far as hte kidnapping went she was the victim. she truly was. no girl dseserves to go through that. it is sad that she was punished this way for slapping a creep.
telling the truth is not wrong but how and where and to whom you tell it may impact the sensitivity surrounding the matter.
india towns are very community based. most events in life are guided by societal perception.
disclosing something of the nature that she did in public where her character and her version of the truths were almost demorialized in public by he opposign lawyer is what was caused the family shame. i have seen girls who are molested in India who instead of gaining sympathy face public shame whenthey go to report the incident. their lives and their families reputation gets tarnished for no crime of their own.
SS is in the throes of an election, he is at his most vulnerable moment in the public sphere and her public disclosure voluntarily done has angered them because it blindsided them and their lack of knowledge is easily apparent to the town.
her husband is upset because something this major happened in her life and she did not share (when he asked her for months) and worse still did not find him trustworthy enought to see him as her support and ally. that is why he looked upset and dejected when he left. his efforts at winning her trust have been in vain
don't know if they will show him angry today. that we will have to wait and watch.
After such a big truth came out she should have called her husband before going home. test the waters. it is a sensible thing to do. till then stay at maayka. and if her disclosure for her father's sake destroyed the marriage her father was trying desperately to preserve then let the marriage burn and stay at maayka forever.
I have to say that pearl grey makes this girl take her pratigyas at the wrong moments and for wrong reasons. she gains no sympathy from me as a married woman or a viewer because even her recent pratigya to brave it was not taken in the spirit of being a wife but in the spirit of being a martyr. her martyrdom seems a farce to me, unnecessary, illplaced and illtimed.
