'Riti Riwaz' of the Village Ahead of Husband's Departure

Every small action of Meher brings great happiness.

यह मेहर की अदा की.

Even the moon, which used to tease her alone every night, avoided them when it saw them together.

तुम्हें पता है चांद ना रोज मुझे अकेला देखकर चिढ़ाता था। आज हम दोनों को साथ देखा तो खुद रूस कर भाग गया。

Ahead of her husband's departure, Azfa tells her mother, "Mother, you've gained a truly wonderful daughter-in-law," and asks her to take good care of her in-laws.

The family wishes each other good health with sadness, and Azfa exchanges a tender farewell with her mother, saying, "Mother, I'll be back soon. I'll miss you."

A village elder named Sarpanch visits Akram to check on couples married for more than six months.

According to village custom, he asks if Azam and Ashifa have chosen other partners, and the 'Riti Riwaz' system, which allows a wife to choose another man in her husband's absence, is mentioned.

Sarpanch cites the example of Nargis, who chose her brother-in-law Naim while her husband was in Dubai, emphasizing that this custom has been maintained for centuries.

Azfa asks her mother if traditional customs are truly necessary.

Her mother replies that this custom helps women satisfy their physical needs and avoid social criticism in a male-dominated society. ये चलन जरूरी है क्या ... यह चलन औरत को आजादी देता है। मर्दों जैसी जिंदगी जीने का।

Yusuf was informed that his passport issuance would be delayed by 2-3 months, just before his overseas employment.

His planned overseas departure was on the verge of being cancelled. यूसुफ भाई वो क्या है ना मैंने पासपोर्ट वाले को फोन किया था तो वो कह रहा है कि थोड़ा टाइम लग जाएगा। यूसुफ भाई एक्चुअली मेरा प्लान ना कैंसिल लग रहा है।

He then seeks to confirm the progress of Azam's overseas departure plans.

The father confirms to his son that Yusuf had already left for Dubai two days prior.

The son had initially planned to depart with Yusuf but clashed with his father, who insisted he go overseas to earn money and build up the family.

The father criticizes his son's refusal of overseas employment, stating, "Our farm and business were built with the money I earned working overseas for 10 years for your mother and you."

The son expressed that he did not need to go overseas because the farm work and business were going smoothly.

The father points out that his son's attitude changed after marrying Ashifa, saying, "Now decide. Will you be tied to your wife and ruin your future, or go out and earn money to cultivate your future?"

Danisi expresses his emotional distress between his father's coercion and separation from his wife, saying, "I don't know how to express my feelings. I don't know how I'll live without you."

Ashifa understands her husband's feelings and tries to support him emotionally, but her husband struggles between the reality of having to leave and the desire to stay by his wife's side.

Danisi finally informs his family that the Dubai job has been settled, with much better terms than before.

The family celebrates his successful employment, saying, "We are proud of our son, let's have a celebration party today," creating a festive atmosphere, but Ashifa outwardly celebrates while inwardly enduring the impending separation from her husband.
