Once again the episode surprised me with the beauty of Rama's thoughts, and the righteousness with which everyone viewed the bidai!
Janak's message to Sita about how she must make allowances for the fact that her sasural people don't know her from childhood, and so will naturally judge her based on her behaviour and how she must thus be very conscious of her behaviour
Sita's request to her father to give more time to her mother, and fulfill her wish of learning, was also really a delight to see.
Dashratha's words that while Janak and Sunayana may have sent Sita as a bahu, he was receiving her as a daughter, was also something that is exemplary!
The three mothers, impatient to receive the sons and their brides, having been denied the joy of being a part of the ceremony, was also well shown!
And last and most significant of all - Rama expressing his gratitude for being considered worthy of Sita - how many men think like that? I once again felt that Rama is the epitome of gender equality and neutrality! If Sita is fortunate to have a husband like Rama, so too is Rama fortunate to have a wife like Sita - and that he feels it so, and is not hesitant in voicing it, is what makes Rama so exemplary in my eyes!
All in all an episode, where the true code of conduct was evident, where everyone understood their role in making Sita Rama Union a happy and successful and everyone played their role ideally!
Even today, bahu is not beti, she is not as appreciated as she should be, and once again Ramayana shows us the way to happiness is when everyone respects the institution of marriage and supports it lovingly and positively!
