Brahma tells Uttara that Devyani is his only and real wife

Today on "Maryada":

So, today was a completely action-packed episode. Pushing the Gaurav-Vidya-Karan-Cheenu stuff the background, today's episode focused on the Brahma-Devyani-Uttara track.

Yesterday Devyani had told Brahma that since he had given someone else (Uttara) the status of wife, she was not going to keep a fast for his long-life on Karva Chauth . Brahma went into Uttara's room and took the box of sindoor (vermillion powder that women put in the part of their hair to signify that they are married). The next morning, Uttara is looking for the sindoor and can't find it, so she goes to Devyani's room where she sees Brahma telling Devyani that he's sorry for his mistakes and only she is his legitimate wife. He goes to put the sindoor in Devyani's hair but Uttara stops him. He pushes her away and says that Devyani is his only wife and she has rights over not just the box of sindoor but over him as well. Uttara runs out of the room in tears.

Devyani tells Brahma that she doesn't trust him and he's doing all this because of some plan of his own. He tries to convince her that he really has changed.

Brahma goes to see Uttara and finds her packing. She says that she is leaving the house forever. He tells her that it's her decision but if she leaves, he'll never see her again, and that if she really loves him, she will trust him and that he's doing all this for a good reason.

I'm beginning to feel bad for Uttara Maasi. Although she has brought a lot of this on herself, and nothing justifies sleeping with her sister's husband, what Brahma did today was really humiliating. It's just incredible that after everything Brahma does, Uttara keeps taking him back. What is it about this man that he has Uttara completely under his thumb and that even Devyani though she talks tough, still loves him (as she told Priya, despite telling Brahma that she wasn't going to fast for him, she still plans to keep the fast in secret. As she said "I've fasted for him for thirty years, how can I stop doing it now?" This track is certainly getting interesting.
