Ugh

Honestly doesn't surprise me, it's normal in this type of era to be engaged during childhood and to be someone older than you

I know it’s normal in that era, doesn’t mean they gotta do it in fiction too Especially if it’s supposed to be wholesome and the characters are supposed to be likable. If they get married imma fr drop this cause wtf

Then drop it because that will definitely happen, maybe off screen and in future time skip. They are from noble families so breaking off engagement is going to be hard, especially when the girl has no problem with it and neither does Selvin

Selvin is very clearly displeased with it and so is FL. Did you read the novel that it will happen? If yes and it really happens then yeah I will consider dropping. However if this isn’t from the novel but just your prediction, then I’m going to keep hoping they change it and drop it if they don’t. Either way, I find it kinda weird that u seem to be defending it.

If nothing is going to happen to their engagement, then I find it weird how author showed that he doesn’t approve of it and is very clearly uncomfortable, and how much FL is grossed out by it. Why would they put that in if they just gonna go along with it anyways, and expect Selvin to be a likable character to both the readers and the FL.

Rania, she has no problem with it, so he's, I did in fact read it.
I am only defending it because I understand how the system back then works regardless how I feel about it. It's going to happen whether we like it or not.

So it’s your assumption and you didn’t read the novel. And defending something just because it used to be a norm is pretty stupid, so u gonna defend rape or slavery too cause it used to be a norm? Be fr. And Rania was groomed, not by him, but by her parents. Let’s not talk like a 14 y.o girl has a capacity to consent to marriage to a 20 y.o man. And no, he was very much NOT okay with it, he said his opinion was not taken into consideration during that discussion. He was forced and very clearly uncomfortable.

And if you don’t know the novel then you have no idea if it will happen or not. If it was in the novel you would’ve said so already. There is a big chance they will turn this around somewhat and I really hope they do.
