That Abhira's marriage to armaan was only so she could be saved from Yuvraj. Being Mrs. Armaan Poddar is simply a means for Abhira to have some sort of protection from Yuvraj. Akshara tried everything she could to protect Abhira; she took Yuvraj to the police and he escaped. She tried to fight him in court, his dad and the Poddars didn't let that happen. On her deathbed, she tried to call Manish and he didn't answer. She knew that the only other person who would fight and care for Abhira like her was Manish and he didn't care. The only other option she had at that minute was Armaan. She knew that the Poddars are well-acquainted with society and would do anything to protect their bahu. As backwards as that sounds, this is how this works. Nobody will go to great extents to protect some random girl's or "sister". It all sounds good in ideals. Being Mrs. Armaan Poddar would have given Abhira that protection that she really needed at that time because she has no one else to help her out and Yuvraj was very much on the loose.
And why was Yuvraj so on the loose? BECAUSE OF THE PODDARS (indirectly). If Phuphasa didn't support Yuvraj so much, he would not have been this much at large. So actually, Abhira DESERVES the Poddars to take care of her.
