Forced Marriages

Perhaps I do not come here often enough, but I still have not seen any posts here outraged at this show promoting forced marriages for both Ahem and Kinjal. Neither person was allowed to chose a spouse of their choice. Both were forced into marriages by their domineering, bullish and aggressive mother who was more fixated with honoring the family name than paying attention to the choices of their children. Neither person is happy in their respective marriage and what is tragic is neither partner, Gopi or Dhaval, have grasped that they are not the chosen partners of their husband or wife.

Granted this show if for entertainment but actually promotes and encourages the concept that only the parent knows best and dopey partners are the only type of people who are likeable, honest, sincere and of a good nature. I am utterly aghast that I have not encountered a single post outraged what the CVs have promoted here.

As modern as India claims it is becoming, it is clear that it is desperately trying to hold on to traditions that serve no purpose or advantage for it's future generation. The assumption that a parent is the one decides the future of their respective partner is unfair to the person who is required to spend the rest of their life with them, and of course, sleep with them.

I agree with you, but SNS plot is just century old. Kasamse, Hena and Amanat almost had the same theme. But I am more concerned about how husbands and wives are portrayed than the forced marriage. All these serials have only one thing to say: "No matter how mean the husband is, the wife must swallow all the pain and remain devoted to him". Should I call it a brainwashing tactic? I understand that such plot gains the serials great TRP, but at the same time they are encouraging women to stay in unhealthy relationships.
