Description

S2E8: the main character forcible enters his ex fiancée’s room, demanding that she leave her husband and sleep with him. She refuses multiple times, but he kisses her forcibly and pushes her to the bed, where she is implied to then consent. A large ongoing storyline of season 4 involves a forced marriage between a middle-aged man and a nineteen-year-old girl. She is shown on screen to be verbally and physically abused by him, and it is heavily implied and stated by the girl that he rapes and demands sex from her constantly. This then results in her pregnancy and the birth of their son, whom the girl feigned death threats towards to stop her husband from assaulting her. She is later on accused of being crazy and is almost sent to a mental institution for refusing her husband’s marital rights. For the rest of the show she is shown to suffer severe trauma from these events.
