When he asked them to deck Arjumand up, he was still hoping against hope in his heart that Behroze would come back. Also, even if he didn't, even if Arjumand had to marry Suhaib, he wants it to be done in all the shaan and shauqat of a proper wedding to keep up pretense. To convince himself as well as the others that this was the right thing to do, the honorable thing.
In his head there is no right or wrong. There is just the family honour and what can be done to protect it. The happiness and will of a few people against the overall khandan ki izzat don't matter.
It almost seemed as if he is refusing to even consider the possibility that this might be a horrible decision for Suhaib-Arjumand. He doesn't want to look at their feelings and emotions cuz that would make him doubt his decision - which in the light of things and in his head he feels is the right one. He doesnt want them to weaken his resolve. And he expects his brother to recognise this and play pretense along with him. When he doesn't, he is miffed and upset. Then lets out what he hopes for the future, wishing it to be true. It seemed like he was consoling his own self, convincing himself just as much as he was his brother.
