Two Wives- Illegal

I am confounded how we continue to approve this show about 2 wives. The Indian Constitution does not recognize 2 wives- only one. Technically, only Rukmi is Ranveer's wife as she was his "first" and they never "divorced" to make way for Rasal. I pity Rasal as she has no rights to Ranveer or her child legally speaking. It is time for someone like Ashu to educate Rukmi, Rasal and Ranveer and the tausa- everyone, that what Rukmi wants for Ranveer and Rasal is illegal unless she herself divorces Ranveer.

its tv land blokes .. is not supposed to make sense to us sensible ppl

gharkelsun- actually it does matter- i just got back from a trip to haiti where everyone is hooked on an old hindi tv serial. they were asking me all kinds of clarifying questions. frankly, i cannot bare to go to such countries where they watch a dubbed version and wonder if 2 wives are legal in india!

I visited small village & there it happens it's illegal bt it's reality of our interior village

I am sorry to say but the whole family is dumb and fool. They only believe deep whatever whether it is right or wrong . and they dont believe rukmi. They have mind of this. So its total crap. Now rasal has also joined their league. Oh god atleast it was worth watching the sister relationship which was going ahead not like other serial.First sister then sautan. Now this too is going in same way.

brainy child- good point. However, when we see it from an entirely different "foreign" point, it is hard to "explain"- even if we have someone like Ashu the Doc have a dialogue somewhere when he says how rukmi allowed for a second marriage or something then at least it is on Record that such a marriage is not permitted according to the Hindu Marriage act.

arpita- that is precisely the point! When will we get "educated"? Or do we want to maintain status quo and say that it is how things are and turn our heads the other way and keep going? Or there needs to be legal reform that acknowledges the 2nd wife, after all in ancient Hindu law it is permitted but not according to the Hindu MArriage Act of 1955.

venki- indeed- it is exasperating to see such a dysfunctional family. I am so done with this serial.
