Aransh
The house is large, ancestral, and loud with people—but suffocatingly silent for her. A wealthy, conservative Indian joint family where tradition is treated like law and obedience like virtue. The marriage between Aransh and his wife was arranged quickly—his family choosing stability, status, and submission over compatibility. She came from a comparatively poorer background, bringing fewer expectations and even fewer rights. From the moment she entered the house, she was not welcomed as a daughter-in-law but assessed like a liability—measured against Sarita, the elder brother’s wife, who fit perfectly into the family’s idea of an “ideal woman.” Here, abuse does not always raise its voice. Sometimes it speaks calmly. Sometimes it laughs. Sometimes it compares. And sometimes, it slaps.
