I would actually prefer them not to explain why hassan is like this... The message should go out that no matter what you have suffered, you can't take it out on others.
.. Trauma/ptsd/many mental illnesses do NOT result in violent tendencies.. Violence is a choice.. Unless they specify that he suffers from a neurological disease that does cause people to behave like this (like some forms of schizophrenia), i want the blame to land only on hassan and not some repressed childhood issue...
Also did any one find numair's reaction on seeing zara all beaten up very underwhelming... They are pretty much each others close friends.. It was almost a non reaction.. I don't think i have seen this actor before but I've read lots of comments praising him but I'm finding him very one note, with the same expression inspite of any situation... Not liking it much.
I agree that domestic violence cannot and should not be excused under the garb of childhood trauma or some mental disorder. Hassan should be provided therapy while in jail and Zara should seek divorce and walk away from this nightmare for good.
But since there are repeated hints of a backstory that explains some of his reactions and anger, I think that can be revealed. However, this does not necessarily imply that Zara or anyone else needs to feel sympathy for him. He definitely deserves to be punished for beating her black and blue.
Apart from domestic violence, the other message that could be sent out is for young women to not ignore the red flags and that mental illnesses need to be treated with professional help rather than mere explaining and talking by family members.
