Rishabh's voice was low but laced with fury as he grabbed Roshni's chin, forcing her to meet his burning eyes.
"Sach sach batao tumne shaadi kis liye ki? Itne saal kyun jhela? Tum mere parivaar ko itna kuch kyun diya?"
Her gaze didn't waver....No fear, No tears. Just a haunting calm that spoke volumes of the storms she'd already weathered.
"Daulat. Shauhrat. Tumhara paisa. Auda. Aur tumhara chehra..." she paused, every word like a dagger, "Yahi sab bolte hain. Tum sochte ho... Shayad yahi sach hai"
Silence hung like a noose...
But behind those bitter words lay a love once tender, now poisoned by pride, silence, and a home that never accepted her...
In the heart of Delhi, the Rathores rule with tradition as their weapon and pride as their shield. A family where women are ornaments for display, not voices to be heard..
Rishabh Rathore, the silent and stoic heir, was raised in a world where men never bend, never feel. Hardened by expectations and blinded by patriarchy, he marries a girl presented as shy and obedient, just how his family likes it.
But Roshni, his wife, is anything but ordinary. A once lively, warm-hearted woman, she silences herself to fit into a cage built by lies...lies her father told to get her married, and lies the Rathores fed her daily.
Three years pass in silence. In neglect. In wounds that don't bleed but burn.
Yet Roshni never stopped giving, caring for the very people who treated her like a shadow. Until one day...she asks for a something....
The Rathores are shaken. Rishabh is enraged. Not because she's leaving...but because she dares to leave.
"Married by Lies" is a story of a woman reclaiming her self-respect, and a man learning that love is not about control but courage.
It's about unspoken pain, slow-burn redemption, and the storm that begins when silence is finally broken.
"He never believed in love-until the woman he disrespected walked away"

He hated her because of her skin colour, which was dark and not the fair skin colour he preferred. He was forced into the marriage thanks to a promise his grandparents made to her family long ago, a promise he regretted every moment of every day.
He had no regard for her feelings or dreams, seeing her only as an unwanted obligation he had to fulfil.
He felt disgusted and ashamed whenever he looked at her, and he couldn't bear introducing her to his friends as his wife or even bringing her along to any gathering.
In his voice, during their wedding night, he spoke with a tone filled with hate and disgust, "Not just me, nobody can bear to sleep beside you. You're a darkness, a curse, a harbinger of misfortune and suffering. You're like the darkest, most miserable nights, bringing only misfortune and suffering."
She married him in poverty, but after their union, he became wealthy. Yet, instead of proudly introducing her as his wife, he hid her from his friends, deeming her unworthy of his social stature.
