Kesar is not educated ...and so far we have not seen any of her maikawala's too..so to all intents and purpose , she is an orphan..suppose she kicks a fuss like Pratogya..The Thakur's will attach some stigma and throw her out..if she goes to her Maika..she will be killed in the name of preserving honor..if she opts to live separately..she is not skilled in anything...she will not survive beyond a few weeks..the only option is put up with the Thakur's torture and survive with her sanity intact...these are the sad but pathetic cases of many a woman in rural area ..
Why rural? It happens in cities too. I have met a few in my years in India. Sad, and helpless but true! If someone takes the time and effort to show them a way out, some actually take it and have a decent life.
