Why Misthi hasn't said No to the relationship so far?

The problem isn't with Misthi the problem is with our society who puts an undue pressure on the girl to say yes. Parents are all on for courtship and would even say that no is an option but when a girl actually exercises her right to say no she is ridiculed more then the boy even by her closest relatives. Take the example of Badi Maa who felt the need to apologize for Misthi's stance even though she knew that Misthi was right and the chachi claiming that they will get the operation done. Not to forget that the only reason Misthi said yes was due to the embarrassment badi Maa faced when those community aunties called her names and misinterpreted her courtship also Badi Maa's Paranoia due to Misthi's father which was adversely affecting Badi MAA's health and she pleaded with Misthi to not ask for the courtship. Added to this until now she didn't see any warning signs in kunal so she went ahead and said yes. It's only now that we are seeing her inner turmoil and her confusion due to Kunal's actions and yes her attraction for Kunal was based on superficial factors such as flowers, poetry but also on other major factors such as him saving her life although all these things were done by Abhir and I don't know why Kunal hasn't come clean to her about it so reasons for this relationship to end can also be this he hasn't been honest with her about this and his past relationship so these are deal breakers also Misthi did try to tell Kunal about her past until Ben Baa interfered. Misthi is a strong girl yes but all us strong girls find it hard to stand up to our parents and especially in Misthi's case people who took her in when her own parents abandoned her. She feels indebted to them

Yes! Her parents abandoning her has made her not only so apprehensive and careful when it comes to marriage, hence why she is placing the courtship condition and refusing to change herself, but also at the same time she feels pressure to give in and marry irregardless of how careful and selective she wants to be about her future husband. because she feels that her demands are a cause for embarrassment for the family who took her in.

Its honestly such a difficult situation for mishti where factors just keep stacking up against her, and the only factor in her favour is one that she is unable to see; Abeer, her best friend who is the only one understanding her, not judging her and not expecting her to change or give in to other's demands in the name of marriage.

Spot on Sammy. Her past is really clouding her judgement. On one hand she feels indebted to her adopted family on the other hand Kunal has been exhibiting toxic traits. If she says no people will question her upbringing. You are right it's a convoluted mess that the poor girl is caught up in.
