Mandodari her actions an analysis - Page 2

@manasa Mandodari is a duty bound woman. As a daughter she felt when she had the power to save her father's life she should do it. It was not exactly freewill, but then that was the option she thought is right at that time. If she was intelligent and thought a bit more she would have held her life at ransom telling Ravan by killing her father, he wont get her, she will die. But maybe under the pressure of circumstances she took the other option.

Same again post marriage she feels it is her duty to protect her husband. You can actually see many Mandodari like women in reality also. They feel it is their duty to protect their husband irrespective of whatever they do. And these men gloat around of women like Mandodari.

If only women realize that they need not protect a man who doesnt respect them, world would have been a better place.

Di i did not get one thing 😕
Despite of all the pain Ravan gave Mandodari by forcefully marrying her. Why does she respect him I know its her dharam as patni but i wonder how she forgive him for his deeds???
A father daughter relationship is so strong then how did she manage to live with his fathers hatred towards her??? I felt so sad... She did this to save her fathers life and he thinks she is
kul ki Kalank
Nothing changed after these many years her father did not forgive her Poor Mandodari
I never knew Mandodari's life is full of sacrifices😭
Now i got it she is a great woman😃 Hats off Mandodari👏👏

In the actual story, Ravan once caught sight of Mandodari and fell in love with her. She too fell in love with him, and when he proposed married she asked him to go to her father, as was proper. Ravan respectfully requested her father for his daughter's hand in marriage, and Mayasur was ecstatic that the Lord of Lanka wanted his daughter as his queen, and he happily performed their marriage.

Ravan was a wicked man and committed many crimes, but in his dealings with Mandodari he was always the gentleman. She was the only lady whom he ever loved, and she was also the only lady who truly loved him. She did not marry him out of fear for her father's life.

Ok I agree that he loved her but did he respect her?

@janaki I agree to your version, that is what even I have read. But whether it is this, or whether the version I have read, the fact that cannot be disputed is that mandodari was a Panchkanya and her chastity gave Ravan his greatest defence.
