I am not liking the way Wali has been portrayed as the whiter than white hero out to tame the shrewish heroine Fara and in fact this week's episode just showed that. Wali now feels Fara isn't worthy of him and so he tells her that she isn't worthy of being his wife, but neither will he divorce her and she can have a life neither here nor there and ppl saying she so deserves it! Even if she is on the wrong, I don't agree to such treatment. Wali is justified in his anger, but I didn't like the way he took it upon himself to teach Fara a lesson. Also many say Fara is wrong and but if just seen at the way the show has been shown till now, it makes perfect sense that Fara wld choose Moiz over Wali as Moiz is the understanding, supportive, caring cousin as opposed to Wali, whom Fara sees as someone having the typical feudal qualities of being chauvinistic and dominating and most of her encounters with Wali just reinforces her notions, however faulty. Also till now I haven't seen anything wrong with Moiz's character as opposed to his parents and Ruhi's, whcih have been established as negative.
I will have to disagree to that.
Whatever Wali did in this episode was, at the end of the day, just words. Threats. He was angry, hurt, and he lashed out. He said he wouldn't divorce Farah but neither will he make her his wife. But were the circumstances at the point where rukhsati was on the cards? Was their marriage going to happen at some near point of time that Wali's words that he wouldn't make her his wife would have a shuddering impact on Farah? No.
Farah was never interested in being Wali's wife so half of his statement didn't hold any value in front of Farah. The half that
did was him announcing that he wouldn't divorce her. That scared her and that is what pushed her to take legal aid to get her freedom from Wali. Post the restaurant scene, did Wali do
anything which indicated that he had vengeful plans for Farah or that he would teach her a lesson? No. Instead we saw a visibly disturbed Wali who was initially angry but became hurt and sad later on. The guy couldn't even convincingly smile for his mother and was avoiding confrontation like anything. If he had any inclination to fulfill his threats, his behavior would have been much different.
The only time he lashed was when he got the legal notice. But then again, we didn't
see what he did. He told AJ that he will see to it that Farah doesn't get divorce or her share in the property and he stormed off. What happened next was AJ and Arjumand going to Lahore. Once again, Wali's words were just words which were product of immense anger and hurt and nothing else.
The only thing I find potentially disturbing is the precap and Wali manhandling Farah. That is crossing the line. But the precap indicates that he is doing this for AJ than his own vengeance. So I don't see it as Wali "taking it upon himself to teach Farah a lesson". In this episode he got angry and verbally lashed out. In the next it is just an extension of that lashing out because here is one girl who doesn't even have proper sense to value the bond of Nikaah, who doesn't care about kind words and actions, someone he now deems as unworthy of any of his affection. She keeps terming him as jaahil so he will act in front of her as she sees him rather than who he actually is.
