Some even opined that the makers should have depicted Abhinaya filing a complaint against the man, rather than appearing to have complied with the forced marriage that took place without her consent.Ī section of netizens also observed how the makers of Tamil soaps justify harassment and abuse of women by portraying the lead female characters as “holy” and “traditional” wives, and antagonise women who press charges against the perpetrators upon encountering instances of abuse and harassment. The tweet was reshared by many, and many commented that it is important for television serials to be socially responsible and portray a better understanding of the law.
“Whoever commits or participates in or abets harassment of woman in or within the precincts of any educational institution, temple or other place of worship, bus stop, road, railway station, cinema theater, park, beach, place of festival, public service vehicle or vessel or any other place shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and with fine which shall not be less than ten thousand rupees,” Dr Varun Kumar IPS posted. Sharing the clip, Kavitha Muralidharan, an independent journalist, tweeted: “Tamil serials and their toxicity.” In response to Kavitha’s tweet, Superintendent of Police, Tiruvallur, Dr Varun Kumar IPS, pointed out how the video contradicts the law by highlighting that Section 4 of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act prohibits harassment of women within the premises of places of worship. Several users took to Twitter to express their objections and condemn the video.
With that, the makers announce that the serial will be out soon. A teary eyed and shocked Abhinaya, follows in his footsteps and walks behind him towards the end of the video, instead of objecting to the forced marriage. In an attempt to prove his point, he drags Abhinaya, forcibly ties a thaali around her neck, and questions whether she has become his wife solely because of the thaali he tied in front of the temple deity. She slaps the male lead and questions how he is entitled to nullify the couple’s relationship. At this point, Abhinaya intervenes and points out how the couple got married in front of the temple deity. He even goes on to break off their marriage by snatching the woman’s thaali (mangalsutra).
“Is this a marriage or a robbery”, he shouts. Shortly after Abhinaya offers her prayers inside the temple, we see the male protagonist, a thug, locking horns with a newly-wed couple for getting married without their parents’ ‘permission and blessings’.
