Jumping in to say - the promos for SP shows are generally misleading. ITV is very weird in terms of bigamy and laws, mainly because it is all about the drama and two women fighting it out for a man gets them good ratings.
However they have a general rule of thumb they almost always follow - the ML will act like an ass, talk rubbish and act out of his character when the script demands - but will never physically cheat on a woman. Same in terms of physical abuse. I do not really remember watching a show where the ML beats a woman and ends up with her. Even in forced marriages like that of Arnav-Khushi or Raghav-Pallavi, the heroes have never hit their wives or cheated on them.
I think the hard limit for the ITV audience is cheating/wife-beating and the writers are always cautionary with their approach to these topics. Physical abuse in Doli Armaanon Ki or Saubhayavati Bhav were never endorsed and the FL never ended up with the abuser.
As someone who has always watched ITV for the romance/love stories and not really for the FL’s journey alone (I know it makes me sound very shallow), I’m hoping Garv doesn’t actually physically abuse her, because I don’t think the audience will want (and neither should they) them together.
Things like divorce/misunderstandings/fights/harsh words can be forgiven by the audience but cheating and physical assault is rarely given a pass.
