I also don't think the narrative is making Imlie look dumb. She's asking the right questions. I think it's the frustration of the audience, which has seen her constant relapsing to her creepily abusive in-laws time and time again, which makes them side with Aryan even when he's wrong in this situation.
Like, Imlie, you do have an effing choice. Use it. Let the Ts go to hell. Getting married forcefully is not a glorious sacrifice for your family.
