The above is a clip from 'Hamaari Shadi'. Indrani Haldar, as the bride, says that, "Marriage is culmination of not just our happiness but of all....."

EXERCISE OF BOUNDARIES

Relationships, whether they are personal or diplomatic, the exercise of boundaries is crucial.

It involves recognizing and respecting the autonomy of each party while also clearly communicating one's own limits and expectations.

The key lies in finding a balance where individuals can coexist harmoniously without compromising their autonomy. 

Egsample: 

Radha came from a joint family. She came from a patriarchal system, where the men of the house made all important financial, relationship or any vital long-term decision. 

A key member was her father's eldest brother, who, had contributed towards contributed to entire family and who was next in line of seniority after the death of her late grand father. 

Radha, had utmost respect despite the shor-comings on the patriarchal system owing to the contributions of her family members. 

Issue at hand: Radha's marriage decison, the most impactful decision is seemingly made my her Uncle with no - regard to her thoughts, wishes of feelings. 

Options: 

Option 1: Radha has an option to lash out at her Uncle, for having sheer disregard to her feelings.

Option 2: Radha recognizes the importance of family - and the contributions, yet asserts her boundary and exercises the same. 

Lets see how she does it......
