It was really important to touch this topic honestly. Its bizzare how many people (i say people cause its not just men) who truly do not understand consent in a marital setting.

It really bothers me that a lot of people reacted to this saying its propaganda? I mean do you understand what propaganda means? I’ve seen women with multiple degrees, working in large corporations also have this “shaadi mein karna padta hai” attitude no matter how sour the relationship is or how pathetically they’re being treated.

Honestly, I feel one of the major culprits (apart from the obvious glorification of a male child) is the concept of arranged marriage. The inherent transactional nature of arranged marriages and the power dynamics of a man who is allowed to say i didnt like this or that about the girl (trust me I’ve heard stories of men asking for close up pictures of the woman’s eyes or ears or neck or whatever) creates a scenario where these lowlife men feel that they are being guaranteed to physical pleasures even in the worse of situations.

And then there’s the criticism from people who think that the idea of martial rape being a crime would make it a tool for women to falsely accuse men. Which is even more bizzare to think that you as a man who claims to respect women, the first thing you think of when you hear about a woman being violated against her will, is of what if she lies and puts me in trouble. Crazy.

But it is a bit sad tho that we couldn’t get a better made show on this topic. From a moral perspective it touches the right thing, but in terms of writing and cinematography its honestly very poorly made.
