Joti is standing outside the house. He is thinking about the punishment given to Narmada. He wonders that why such illogical and inhumane rituals exist in the society. Just then Savitri arrives. They both ask each other about their wellness. Savitri asks Joti that how can a book dictate that how a widow should live and what she should eat? Joti says that he doesnt have any idea about what might be written in a religious book and what might not. He adds that he has no idea that such a thing is written in the book given to his father. To this Savitri says that she would go and ask for the book from father. Will Savitri be able to take the book from her father-in-law?
