Hi! May,
A good one. In fact I was thinking of posting something along those lines on CC
In India a marriage is not only with a hubby, but in a certain sense you are bonded to his parents also
A joint family places a unique set of expectations on a person.
You are not "allowed" to take certain decisions that you might have if you lived alone with the hubby
Expectations about wanting grand kids are almost always routine in every marriage.
Most in-laws use many tactics in order to achieve this goal.
It may range from emotionally black mailing their son to calling the daughter-in-law's parents and "indicating" their wish
It all depends on how resolute and firm the young couple are in their goals.
Iam not sure how intelligently they will take this track forward
Whether they will show Shaan relent and go to bed with Khanak
Whether that will result in a pregnancy
Whether he will throw a fit and stand by his opinion
Whether he will feel sympathetic towards his parents and wont be averse to the idea at all
If after everything going well, whether it results in a pregnancy is the biggest question
