Originally posted by: vcs17i followed this case completely when it happened and read different articles on it, almost 10 yrs ago
though i agree with the views that there are cultural differences in bringing up children, imo this is not that black and white
the husband was a scientist and she had a 14 month son when she joined him in Norway and then got pregnant almost immediately and had the daughter (i looked up the dates, she went in dec 2009 and baby was born in dec 2010).
now all of us know the amout of adjustment one has to make when one moves, cultural etc, especially places where winter is severe and you dont see the sun, no people, on top of it any parent knows how difficult handling kids, pregnancy and parenthood especially if kids are under 2 and have less age difference, without family and friends. this can lead to depression
post partum depression is very common among mothers but is not recognised or addressed in india.
i do think this was a case of that, and the articles then also suggested that, and she might have hit the kids in that state, one can easily see that life theretook a toll on her
however the norway authorities did prolong it too much as family from india were willing to take the kids and this blew up into a diplomatic issue and it was a emotional issue.
finally, the couple actually even went through divorce, one may say the case took a toll on them, but the husband in the proceedings said she has psychological issues which were denied, it was also said he wanted to stay back in norway and she didnt want to stay back which resulted in their seperation.
i havent watched the trailer but i i doubt it will show these grey areas and make it a very black and white subject
