Yes, in Yunhi, the blame goes to Kim as it seems that she did it willingly. Yet, his father knew that she was in the mood of breaking that marriage any time she wants, and he made sure that she can't do it so now, the marriage is kind of forced on her.
In Kuch Ankahi, we can call it a psychological issue but we're not that broad-minded if a girl was doing the same what Saif was, and is doing. He had a relationship with a girl and now he has an extra-marital affair. It boils my blood that when a guy has an affair before or after the marriage, a wife's task is to save her marriage and win his heart but if the girl has it then she simply gets the tag of 'bad kirdaar aurat'.
Yes, in yunhi things are complicated. Kim's father is the worst out of all. He wanted the freedom to break off an engagement and live the life he wants but his daughter shouldn't have that option.
In KA, shagufta is seeing a married man but the show not once showed her in bad light for that. She is in the wrong for emotionally abusing him but not for continuing a mutual relationship. Samiya isn't doing any task of saving her marriage. She is literally going with the flaw. She isn't stopping saif from meeting shagufta or sitting and crying over her messed up married life. Neither phupho who ran away from her marriage nor shagufta who is having a relationship with a married man is shown to be badkirdaar in KA. In ejls both the leads were supposedly in love with other people and when the fl said she is still in love with someone else after being married neither the ml nor his family character assassinated her. They never showed the fl in bad light for loving a man while being married to another. Shows like KA and ejls which has sensible writing are very less and cannot be compared to other typical dramas were they have different rule for men and women.
