Hi Rivs,
A post on a very serious matter which happens on a daily basis throughout the world...Marital Rape is a haneous crime and I consider it as even horrific than a rape by a stranger. Statistics show us that women are raped more often by someone they know and trust than strangers. Hence marital rape or rape by a friend psychologically and emotionally scars a person to an extent that a person cannot move on in their respective lives. It takes a lot of time and support to do that.
Coming to the Farhaan/ Nikhat angle...very likely it might happen but Farhan seems to be very respectful towards Nikhat. As far as the story still now it hasn't been shown that Farhan is a rapist. The prostitutes he is with are all willing participants. They were not raped neither has it been shown that he has killed them. If Nikhat says no to his advances...it will be marital rape. But I am afraid women like Nikhat believes that a husband has a right to do as he pleases. It's very sad that Indian society doesn't punish men on the charges of marital rape.

Yes. For some reason that scene coupled with some conclusion that have been made on Farhan, made me think of this topic. Its controversial to talk about on an open forum, but I was willing to take a chance. We do have some very reasonable people like yourself, who can have a mature conversation/ discussion on such a topic too.
@ bold - word. 👏. My theory is that Nikhat at first may give into his lust, misinterpreting it to be love. She is innocent that way and really craves for his approval and love. But for how long, can Farhan mask his needs? It will have to reach a point, where something does not feel right. A realization moment for Nikhat.
In cases of Marital rape, most victims do know that what is happening is no way normal, but then they have to either rely on their inner strength or an external support to voice their sufferance.
Yes Farhan is not a rapist. But he does have a more than average libido. Would you agree? Since he needs to visit prostitutes on a daily/nightly basis. What happens when ur willing partner, all of sudden starts to show hesitancy, shies away from you, shows signs of fear? There is growing frustration which eventually leads to the dreaded deed.
I am a strong believer of woman's intuition and I feel that a woman can tell the difference between a good and a bad touch. Nikhat has shown signs of realizing when things are wrong, unfortunately she has only voiced her concerns in a couple situation only.
Again, this is speculation at best.
