They said early on in this season that she lived in India for a year before deciding to move there permanently to be with TJ. Did people not see where she said that the things she chose for the apartment construction were not what she picked out before she left? Why is everyone saying she should have researched the culture? I’m pretty sure living there for a year can equal to doing some research on the internet.
While I entirely agree with everyone who’s saying she couldn’t have known about the insane shit like cow poop, I do think she could have done more to be an active participant in educating herself on the culture. Living somewhere for a year doesn’t teach you all the stuff you should know to live there forever. It doesn’t look like she knew the first things about weddings which is something she could have asked about and looked up or talked to locals while she was there. She doesn’t know a lick of the language. That fact alone makes me wonder how much of that year was spent inside or only with TJ and his family instead of exploring India as a whole to decide if it’s somewhere she’d like to live.
I honestly don’t think she’s too bright just in general and that played right into TJ not telling her about his family’s extreme practices and beliefs to create the perfect storm.
