I think it happens in real life as well. A human marrying an animal. Due to being manglik or something.

I know in Bengal n Bihar manglik girls are married to banana tree first and after one month they marry their human groom .🙄

Very true. Elopements are also a common plot point, with couples running away to avoid unwanted unions. They never show what are the consequences of such immature decisions.

Indian TV serials often create unrealistic situations in marriage. These can include forced marriages, marriages to the dead, or elaborate rituals that stretch the boundaries of believability. One example is a show where a character married a corpse, and another features a couple discussing their honeymoon and consummation before the characters are even adults, which is seen as unrealistic and potentially harmful .

Love triangles, affairs, and other forms of infidelity are frequent occurrences in Indian TV serials, often leading to emotional turmoil and dramatic confrontations.

Here, we don't feel sad for Mohan but for the dog, who has to bear all this drama.

Mohan aka Aamir Dalvi looks quite happy marrying a dog.

(Is it my imagination, or is it true that the dog is experiencing a degree of melancholic shyness?)

I feel bad for the poor dog

There was also another show with forced marriage which was awful

This show is way wilder than other shows which belong to this trope

The 4 central characters were 2 brothers and 2 sisters from different families

2nd ML loves 2nd FL when they meet for the alliance for the 1st ML and FL but during the wedding the 1st FL's obsessed lover kidnaps her and everyone thinks she eloped and the first ML marries the FL's sister (2nd FL) and the 2nd ML saves the 1st FL and they get the shock of their lives when they reach the marriage hall.

The guilt stricken parents gets the 2nd ML and 1st FL married.....then they streched the show and made it unbearable until the truth came out

The makers were sailing on two boats by showing the leads trying to move on and showing cute flashbacks between the old lovers....it was an utter mess

Indian TV serials with marriage-related criminal themes

The majority of ITV shows revolve around love, marriage, divorce, and the unexpected turns in various relationships.

Usually, Indian serials feature dramatic plot lines involving betrayal, love triangles, and even contract marriages, with a heavy emphasis on melodrama and heightened emotions.

Since long, with the entry of Ekta, Indian TV serials depict a very different definition of marriage. Take the show Kkusum as an example. In this serial, the character Abhay has four wives; Kumud, who was married to Garv, had affections for Kshitij, and now that she is married to Kshitij, she has feelings for Garv. Kali is marrying Nakul solely for the purpose of taking revenge against Kumud. (very confusing) Not only Kusum, but numerous serials in many languages are playing with the concept of marriage. They are simply portraying marriage as a tool for taking revenge on someone !!??

Some critics argue that TV serials can sometimes oversimplify or sensationalise marriage, potentially impacting viewers' perceptions of family relationships.

Others believe that TV shows should be viewed as entertainment and not necessarily reflective of real-life situations.

The portrayal of marriage on television can also spark discussions about cultural values, societal norms, and the evolving dynamics of relationships.

Recently, we have seen ITV serials (esp, EK serials) with horrific schemes against their own family members, such as murders, doing harm to Bahus or Saas, and even little children.

How would such criminal tendencies depicted on television serials impact the viewer in particular, as well as society as a whole, in the long run??

Like seriously why is marriage a joke in ITV serials . It just irks me out

It's like they are teaching our young girls , if a rich , handsome and tall guy marries you for revenge, STAY in the marriage because you both have chemistry and will fall in love someday

As time goes on ITV gets regressive
