Pehredar piya ki

In this serial has also two way looking and   think about progressive and Regressive in controversy in both the way of looking the serial.

I completely agree and I don’t intent do advocate for child marriage be it a nine year old girl or a nine year old boy. The whole story of this serial is based on the fact that the protagonist ‘Diya’ marries the little boy ‘Prince Ratan Singh’ to protect him from his evil relatives.

Even if they still manage to kill him to acquire his business they don’t get it, she does. However after marriage, he has her by his side to protect him at every step that he takes and that is how the name ‘Peheredar Piya Ki’ comes from.
Whatever the reason, it just does not justify a nine-year-old boy getting married to an adult woman in her twenties.

Let me remind you of a few of them. Remember ’Roli’ being married off when she was just a kid in the serial ‘Sasural Simmer ka’ to Siddhartha, who was the older brother of Roli’s older sister ‘Simmer’s’ husband ‘Prem ’. It perhaps did not look that bad because ‘Roli’ did not look her age, she looked older thanks to her amazing height and acting. ‘Sasural Simar ka’ has to be my most favorite on this topic for it simply had the crappiest content from the very beginning and later it got so crappy that we couldn’t even laugh it off.

Like how ‘Simar’ the protagonist turns into a fly and all it got was some meme from people all over. Before that the serial had an ‘Iccha Dhari Nagin’ who played an important role and it went on for a couple of months. There was this one time how ‘Roli’ suddenly dies and then they manage to find another girl who looks exactly like ‘Roli’ (I wonder if finding identical twins who are not born in the same family are so easy, I wish I could find mine just like that someday. It will be so cool to have a sister who looks like me from another mother and let me also add father).
This list can go on, however I will just point out a few more names of the serials that did well for its TRP’s despite having regressive content – Kumkum Bhgaya, Naagin, Ye hai Mohabtein, Tashan-e-ishq, Qubool Hai and many more.

So, if we ask for a ban on this serial for being regressive, we must ask for all these kind of serials to be banned, not just one. But won’t that have our channels go blank for a couple of days? According to me, this serial is facing such backlash only because it is regressive in terms of sexism.
