Moral from Intolerance to Love

First of all, I would like to say that Amir ji is doing a great job with the show. If only everybody has the same social awareness that he does. All the episodes were great and very meaning full.. but for the latest episode I found somethings unclear and missing. What did you guys understand as a moral of the story?

Is Amir saying that when one brings home a random guy or girl and asks his or her parents if they can marry them should the parents say yes immediately without any second thoughts?
What about all the girls that elope with a guy thinking they are in love but the guy sells them to prostitute homes or gang rapes them with his friends or takes all their money and escapes? It happened to so many girls all around the world and it wasn't even mentioned in the show.
Believe it or not, there is probably no body else in this world who loves you more then your parents do. If not father, definetly any mother would love her child unconditionally.
When her daughter brings home a man wanting to marry him, how is the mother suppose to know the guy will do anything for her daughter when or if the time comes? How will she know that the guy will starve himself to feed her daughter if necessary the way she probably did or would?
I don't see anything wrong with being hesitant about it. You can't run after their life and should let it go after sometime but personally, I feel that there's nothing wrong with being doubtful, they should be careful. I mean it's the same as letting kids take candy from strangers.
Am I missing something? Did I not understand something? What do you think?

You missed the point entirely. If as an 18 year old, the law gives you the right to cast your vote and decide the country's future, then why can't a person decide their own future? Parent's approval for marriage or Live-in is not mandatory. Do you get beaten up for deciding to go to a particular college or take a course that your parents do not approve of? Do you get tortured for voting for different person than your parents? Then why should you be tortured for deciding your own life?

By the way why are all your questions aimed at restrictions on girls only? Ladkon ko chhutte saand ki tarah sadkon pe kyon phek rakha hai?

I have a better solution to all the questions you have posed, and the problems you have cited. Since the members of this forum are so fond of passing new laws as per their personal prejudice, I have another recommendation for them. Pass a law that restricts the movement of men. No man to be allowed on streets, unaccompanied by his mother, sister or wife. Any man wandering the streets alone, to be immediately rounded up and locked in a safe house. No man to be allowed on streets after 6 pm and before 10 am under any circumstances.

Statistics prove that 99% crimes are committed by men. We would in one go solve the problem of eve-teasing, petty crimes on road, alcoholism, you name it - all crimes would come to an end.

Think about it.

Please do not miss the point. As a parent you have all the right to object, refuse, give your opinion, not attend the wedding...but you don't have any right to kill..take a law in your own hands.
Smart parents see the situation and give in for their kids happiness. You don't want to loose your children, life is too empty without them. If parents see any valid reason they can talk to kids but after that it is their decision if they are adults, they need to face the consequences.
Also I don't understand that why Amir did not ask one of the surpunch...who was confused between love and vasna. That old guy kept on saying that get married because of vasna ...I guess they should have at least make it clear the difference.

ok ya.. I guess that was the basic point to not take the law into your hands.
