@ Bold In my view, I never felt Virat was in moral dilemma. He was very clear (i.e. he will remain celebate all his life, will preserve Pakhi's love in his heart and that love will be expressed outwardly as deep friendship with no romantic color to it. Pakhi will marry Samrat (in true sense), move on in life with his Jiva and will have a happy life. Period). In the given situation the Vadaa did come across as ambiguous but from that moment, it was an end to any possibility of romantic relationship between the two from Virat's end and he imagined it meant the same for Pakhi(which was not the case (he still does not know it)).Rather, his morality is such that it did not even cross his mind that his Vadaa is construed as license for an EMA.
I know many stories where people end up marrying someone (family, self-cicumstances) even though they have not moved on (/do not want to). If they are true to their future spouse about their status and future intention (e.g. I will need time to overcome my past), it is upto the future spouse to make a decision (as in case of Sai).Transparancy is the crux here (from my POV). I know stories where person who feels confidant of getting the partner out of the past have married them. I would not have had issues marrying someone like Virat who opened all his cards before marriage.
@bold, but that is not the case for Virat. He clearly stated that he can not move on and will not fulfill any rights as a husband.
