she in her grief misguidedly thinks rusty responsible for all her misfortune & hence her decision to marry ajit (rusty loves ajit, so if she loses him,then rusty'll feel the same pain as kandy).
Twisted pyschology but she's being mis-guided by mathura who wants rusty out of her life.
Ajit agrees to the marriage coz he feels " well I've done so much for rusty & all she's doing is playing with my emotions".
