you deserve a great pat on the back! VERY WELL SAID! and that's the spirit! 😊 people should really start coming out of their cocoons and accept other novel ideas if they ever want to MOVE FORWARD. love REALLY is blind. it can come in any form and manner! love is never restricted to certain boundaries! which is why people should accept it! if not, peace shall not prevail on earth!

P.S. do i by any chance, sound like a politician? 😕

good explaination of the real facts. This system gets my thumps up .It was done in exterme conditions only as a last resort during the olden days to save a womens virtue. Devar in sanskrit is DUEEVAR , DUEE - second VAR-groom so translated it means second husband. Interesentingly a few years back Star Plus had launched a similar show called Kumkum which was on the same lines . Juhi Parmar played KUMKUM in that serial. it was very well recieved by the viewers. Brothers in law are accepted husbands if they agree to such marriages. Age is no barrier.

off late i have seen a horde of messages ... of people saying they cannot see gulaal as kesar's wife and she is his bhabhi maa. and that what kind of non sense is it to marry off to a person 8 yrs younger and automatically gulaal is surrogate mother so she shud languish in widowhood forever ... or marry dushyant ( gross) , or remain as a widow for all what she did for vasant.

have we changed from mediveal ages at all??

im totally exasperated!

no offense meant. but i needed to share my feelings over the subject.

deeyarvattu or marriage of widow bhabhi to young devar was a very noble tradition. it is still practised in some parts of india.

as things used to stand in traditional india, women were not educated ... once widowed they had no means of lively hood. no hope of finding a partner outside as no one wud marry a widow. they cudnt return to mayaka as it was forbidden to live in mayaka for ever. it wud already be taken over by bhabhis. since she dsnt have a husband technically she cud exist in sasural but everyone knows how "piya bin sasural is like"!

she wud be forced to wear white, kept out of celebrations etc. worse she wud be an easy prey to male relatives seeking a bit of variety!

or thrown out on streets ... she may be persuaded to sex trade. her kids wud be sold ...

so came deeyarvattu to rehabilitate a widow by marrying her to the devar , as chacha is next best thing to kids after father.

people are making it sound like it is all about sex ... like the "older" woman is dying to have sex so she is enticing a man younger than her. they seem to be forgetting now kesar is an adult.

FYI deeyarvattu is such a noble tradition which aims at rehabilitation of an extremely weaker section of society ie th ewidow , to give her and her kids a chance to live respectfully and nobelly , securing her socially and financially.

why is this noble tradition being trashed so badly ... ?

wud same people be questioning if it was widower jeeja and young saali ??

i am extremely disappointed to see such sexiest views by young generation.

SAD!

kudos to creaters of gulaal for showing deeyarvattu.
