Kools,

I agree 100%. Why isn't Kesar being dragged to the police station by Pratigya to launch a complaint about the bigamy (its much easier to prove and she cannot simply claim to be mistaken later). You can bet if Shakti had married a different second wife the matter would not have rested.

In fact I would not even characterize Arushi sleeping with Shakti as punishment - she married him of her own free will and despite everyone else's protests. What did she think happened after you get married? Clearly none of the Sax siblings received the birds and the bees talk at home - because each one believes marriage for revenge minus sex with your spouse is an acceptable option (and none believed that a person who holds such views owes their spouse some kind of heads up signal about their intentions before getting to the mandap).

Kesar was raped because Arushi's virginity was kept intact!!! Despite the pain and humiliation involved her husband taking on a second wife she did not even get a reprieve in the bedroom. I have said it in another post - if Arushi is going to try and kill herself anyway the least she can do is sleep with Shakti first since she is the one who led him down this horny path.

Right now thanks to the sax siblings none of the Thakurs are getting any - except Khrishna when he is being a good little boy and learning his lessons nicely

There is no hope in this serial for the Saxes to admit their mistakes as there is always some justification to their sufferings. Nor are they going the make Saxes learn something from uneducated people as the education class knows better. All his kids married for revenge and it goes to show that as a father he has not instilled any values into their kids. No one would want their child married into a family where they think marriage is a joke and game. Personally, they've made a mockery from the institution of marriage and for those who live through difficult marriages in reality, its a slap in the face.

According to me there should be consequences for Arushi;s actions not necessarily rape though in reality KN would have taken care of this by now but some sort of punishment for her rash decisions why should she get off scott free not only has she committed bigamy but has also ruined Kesar's life in the process !!!

I'd like to ask a question here... And I really dont know the answer to this:

Is it considered rape when a girl willingly marries a guy, but point blank refuses any intimacy with him? I understand Kesar's situation, coz she hasnt always refused Shakti, and when she did, he forced her. But Im confused about Arushi's situation.
Isnt it cruelty to the guy also to refuse to consummate the marriage even once? If he wants to, will that still be called an attempt to rape?

Im asking this question seriously, with no attempts at any sarcasm towards any character.

Elle nice question. in a marraige if the husband forces himself on an unwilling wife it is marital rape like in the case of Kesar but if she refuses to consummate for eternity then it is different case. Pratigya did the same thing married baba but denied any physical intimacy and when he tried to force himself on her . headlines said marital rape as it was not Prats perogative to look into the physical needs of Krishna as he forced the marriage upon her which i don't believe. But the same can't be said about Aarushi. She married Shakti out of choice and now she is trying to aviod any physical intimacies with Shakti(i really don't have time for such a t**ser) again ignoring other partners needs. Aadarsh did the same thing .I really don't understand the thought process behind this marraige for revenge or out of spitre. What do these Sucksena siblings think about marraiage just makes me wonder.

But coming to your question I believe physical intimacy is a very important aspect of a marraige and refusing to consummate marriage is evil. So if one partner wants it and the other is not ready to comply with it for eternity the best way out is divorce the person and find some one else. Infact on those grounds you can be granted divorce quite easily.

great post kools..

said it all .. for the the biggest prick was the fact that a women who herself married her stalker to take revenge is expecting her sister to listen to her advice.. i mean cmon how many times in life will it happen that your stalker who u married to reform turns out to be a good man at heart living in a palace of criminals, loves you a lot and always supports you.. like .. never..

pratigya just got lucky and in real life not all girls will be ... i think thru arushi the CVs had a opportunity to showcase that.. that not all such marriages will end like kriyas.. but they blew it..

and whats this thing about virginity?? i am sick and tired of women being measured using tha yardstick... its high time that a show running in 2011 does away with it....
