Salma and Sikander choose to sacrifice their love once more. And this time, it is for their children. Can society accept marriage between the parents of a couple? Tumharey Husn Kay Naam touches upon taboos and constraints that exist within our society and our conditioned mindsets.
A Bizaree Situation
Salma and Sikander not only face the challenge of marrying each other in middle age, (which is not that common), but also have their children marrying each other. So should they marry each other when their children are also getting married to each other? This is probably a very bizarre and unheard-of situation. Omer himself made a very judgemental statement about marrying in middle age.
It breaks our heart to see Salma and Sikander unable to be together. A part of us desperately seeks and wishes for some way they could find their happiness. While we are loving Sara and Omer’s relationship, we are also fearful about the consequences once Omer discovers the truth about Salma, which he will eventually. It can’t stay hidden for long.
Can Sara Convince Omer?
The question arises, will Sara also believe him or choose to trust her mother. The fact that both Salma and Sikander hid the truth from their children, makes Salma’s case weak.
Social Taboos
Should a couple really not see each other just before marriage? Sara and Omer make us ask this question? Distance makes the hearts grow fonder… can this phrase be applied here? Is a week or 4-day separation before marriage, okay? Or shouldn’t the two enjoy the most important days of their lives together?
It could be argued that the days leading up to a wedding are often high intensity days when emotions are running high and meltdowns occur uninvited. In such moments, is it better for the bride and groom to avoid each other and prevent last minute misunderstandings or miscommunication, or … is it but a test of their bond and relationship that they should be able to communicate in high strung situations and come through for each other, in fact, be the support the other one needs at such a sensitive and significant moment of their lives.
But then, ever heard of last-minute jitters and second thoughts? What would you advise your best friends to do before tying the knot? Meet each other till the very day of the nikah or … follow tradition and keep away. After all, like we said, distance does make the heart grow fonder.
