He just need to look around and he'll find more men doing two timing and involved in extra marital affair, or having another wife, or a secret family. He looks more into self victim mode because his father wanted to just keep him, but failed to explain that people fall out of love and separation is normal. The thing happened between him and his wife was mutual separation and he is fine with that.
Father's will makes sense as he was very much aware that he has raised a depressed soul who would finish himself one day taking sleeping pills and anti depression pills. He needs a partner/spouse to take him out of his shallow world. Obviously he won't find a girl very next moment or very next day and business would face loss, but he can recover the business loss sooner or later. Again, that will is totally unfair with a woman who would agree to marry him. She has to alway remain ready to prove her character. More than a husband, she'll be getting someone providing her character score everyday.
But isn't that normal for anyone with childhood trauma as such as Basit's? And, generalization is far fetched, had he been negative about every women he would not defend a woman's reputation in the first place. There are many ways to pull your child out of his depression and trauma and i do not think forcing him literally for sth which he is unready is justified. Parents created the mess, failed to give him a functional childhood and now failed him by forcing him for a marriage too. He is an adult, he is a gentleman and from where I see he was handling the business very well, however, the will had to mess it up.
However, Basit as a character is growing on me, too many layers to explore, and the main theme of the character is to discover love and change his POV regarding women and the girl whom he falls in love will be lucky in a sense he will not let that fall apart once he realizes he loves her. He values love and loyalty and such men can be healed.
