I think there are reasons such women don't speak up. They are really scared and they are also conditioned by society that don't speak up against ur husband , "marriage mai yeh sab chalta hai" , pari parmeshwar hai blah blah so i kind of get why manjari couldn't take stand at that time
Manjari was financially dependent on harsh and harsh used to hit her.. if she would have speaken at that, time situation would get heated for once but i am sure harsh would have not have this level of audicity ..it's a pity mahima didnt take stand for manjari at that time..in such situations it's best to inform your parents or brother / sister that domestic violence is happening with you..
What's not tolerable is how manjari is not standing up against harsh now...i mean come on she is not that dumb.. she is a smart women who gave upbringing to smart surgeon son who adores her and she has his full support. She is not even financially dependent on harsh...that should bring confidence in her( not saying women should be confident only when their son become capable, abuse should never be tolerated at any costs) ... I mean to say earlier it was understand due to manjari's conditioning to not speak up against harsh but not she really needs to speak up. ..she shouldn't allow you are bad biwi taunts and tell him if u have so much issues let's get divorced.. if harsh is happy with that decision she should go forward...i know that would break the family, hence manjari doesn't want to do that and it's understandable but she should atleast threaten him.. as harsh is scared of losing his son.. and domestic violence shouldn't be tolerated at any costs
And let's not even talk about akshara.. there is very much difference in the time manjari comes from and akshara's.. Akshara is today's girl and if she doesn't take stand for herself in sasural then I wouldn't sympathize with her like I do with manjari.. plus akshara gets support from abhimanyu... So if she puts up with harsh and senior birlas insult and taunts am done with her...she really doesn't need to do and she is not that bechari .. she has all kind of support and she is well educated to stand for herself.. she has her music therapy job too.. it's not like she is sitting idle and not doing anything..
Akshara and aarohi situation was totally different. Like you said in that situation being mahaan is the problem.. more than Aarohi's immaturity for treating her sister like that, i would blame akshara for not standing against a bully...
