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.
I had made such a comment and I was more referring to the customs regarding the wedding and homemaking, the rituals themselves, etc. She may have lived there but she did so as an American student/tourist. She didn’t likely come and stay studying the very things that she’s going through now as a wife. She obviously didn’t adopt the religion, or learn the language. So clearly living there wasn’t enough to prepare for actually being a citizen there.
