Yes.. they didn't seem too keen to break off the rishtha...but why should they...they didn't witness the atrocities being reported...Jalal was the one who told them about it...and how would they know if he was telling them the truth or exaggerating it...
Besides, even if a few crimes were going on in Sujanpur, we don't know that Bhavani/Ratan were really THAT bad...(does everyone assume that crimes were not going on in Amer...was there no pillaging/plundering going on in the Mughal Sultanat)
Plus, we've never seen the other side of the story..maybe this Bhavani/Ratan were trying to oust the dakoos but were unsuccessful...(waise dekhaa jaaye tho even Bharmal doesn't appear like a very capable ruler - kind, yes...capable ermmm not sure)
And 17 rishtaas have gone down the drain for Sukanya...I would imagine in the 16th century that getting one's daughter married off took precedence over anything else...
That's why I understand why the Amerwasis are not too keen about breaking off alliance despite what Jalal had to say...
