I have been a watching this show since July 2008. I do not know the background of how Sia and Raghav got married but have read some of the updates provided on their relationship. Raghav is educated abroad and even looks after some business in Delhi before he returned to his village veerpur and settle with Sia on the advice of his mother.
As far as i have observed Raghav is the loyal(extreme) type of human being. He is very loyal to his mother and that may be more out of respect than love for his mother and her actions. Similarly he respects and listens to his elder brother Joginder since he places him in his fathers place. Also when Sia's father beat him for cheating her he never raised his hands or counter argued because he knew he was wrong.
But sometimes Raghav has revolted against them both when he felt what they did was not correct. He raised his opposition to Jumhar being produced in court because he felt that her marriage may be stalled by that and it happened exactly as he had thought. If his mother would have forced Jhumar to go to DM he would have definetly revolted aginst his mother and veerpurs customes then and there. Similarly when Sheela was sentenced for lashes he could not bear it and walked out.
He even raised his opposition to Joginder when they had to leave a village women with DM once.
But the main problem is till today he has never really revolted badly against any of his family members or told his views on the customs that he dislikes in Veerpur.
That is only natural because its your own family that you are opposing. No matter how good a person is its very difficult for him to oppose people who are his own family with whom he or she is brought up. So only if a very significant incident takes place that will leave Raghav emotionally drained will he completely raise his voice against his mother and family and veerpurs customs. I guess this incident will be his sister's marriage to the guy called Dheeraj since they have some Gotra issue.
Regarding Sia, Raghav loves her but just cannot express it by standing up against his family for her rights. Actually if you see in real life too in similar situations only if the wife takes a firm stand against injustice does a husband stand up for his wife especially in rural set ups. Sia should learn to stand up for herself and not simply listen to abuses by all in the family. Raghav can defend her but not in every situation. Tommorow what if Raghav has work and he goes to Delhi leaving Sia for a few days. In current circumstances Raghav has basically married a person who needs protection always and so he has to shadow her always to save her. Thats not possible always in real life too.
Ex: Last week during the fasting Rangeeli was forcefully trying to put eatables in Sia's mouth and Sia needed Raghav to intervene, this week also Ranegeeli was abusing her and Santosh had to intervene, sometime back Ammaji was beating her for giving poison to Avtar and Raghav had to intervene. Others cannot keep intervening always for Sia. Instead of Sia Sunheri and Rangeeli are shown more capable of handling every situation. Sia always needs someone to defend herself. In the early phases Sia was shown as fearless and capable of protecting herself. Where is that Sia gone? Indeed after Raghav grew close to her she has become over dependent and he or santosh etc have to keep protecting her. So Sia's character for a educated city girl looks quiet unnatural in todays world.
Regarding Raghav he is good at heart and can see injustice but every one needs a spark that will make them rebel against the system especially ones own parents. That spark has never been available to him till date. The day such an incident takes place he will stand up for justice. Just imagine if we were in Raghavs place we would also find it difficult to fight our own families.
