Taking someone in basically means that they "adopted" them (one word translation in English lol), maybe they just didn't do it "officially." @plo - so yes Danish is Mansha's adopted brother and Sarah's character is the adopted sister. In the show, her and Raheel love each other and get married secretly even though they are basically adopted brother/sister. Raheel and Mansha are biological siblings while Danish and Sarah are their adopted siblings.
This is a weird situation I agree but in the end in depends whether they consider each other as bro/sis or consider as friends because they are not blood related.
I do not think so. Taking in does not really mean adoption IMO. I mean here in west adoption has specific meanings and I think in east as well. Adoption actually gives you the legal right to start using adopted father name as your father name and many other rights. Even if you are not adopting the child legally or formally still then there should be an informal understanding that you have actually "adopted" the child i.e. you have actually accepted the child as your own. I can give you examples from novels actually 😃 for example in bin roye aansoo saman was "adopted" by her mamoon (although there was no formal adoption) but in "yeh jo subh ka ik sitara hai" romaisa was not adopted she was only "raised" by her khala. I would feel a little weird saying that romaisa was "adopted" by her khala. I personally do not think in normal spoken language we use the term adoption for romaisa's situation. Now in BRA agar aisa hota kai saman ko "adopt" karnay kai baad mamoon ka apna beta ho jata aur saman aur woh beta shadi kar laitay tou I would have found it reallyyy strange (not because of the ages) but agar romaisa apnay khala kai betay sai shadi kar lai tou there is nothing strange in it.
This is why I said in HTG what the situation is I am not sure although Rammal and Nudrat call Zakarya and his wife as mom and dad but what the understanding among them is not clear.
But I think it is a very superficial sort of discussion what you say, how you say they are all relative things. There is no absolute definition for it. But I hope I made it clear what I meant.
