India, June 25 -- The Pune murder case, in which 26-year-old businessman Ketan Agarwal died after allegedly being pushed into a gorge at Lohagad Fort by his fiancee Siya Goyal (20) and her alleged boyfriend Chetan Chaudhary (22), has reignited questions around family expectations and the fear of saying 'no' to marriage. According to police, Siya did not want to go ahead with the wedding. We speak to mental health experts about the larger issues the case brings up. Psychiatrist Dr Deepak Raheja says that, in general, people can sometimes end up caught between social expectations and personal desires. "I feel Siya got trapped between two completely different worlds. In her real life, she was locked into a wealthy 'trophy rishta' that she had agreed to... To cope, she retreated into a microcosm... an isolated fantasy world with her boyfriend, Chetan, where she could pretend she wasn't engaged." Dr Chaitanya Sheoran, consultant neuropsychiatrist, says, "When someone uses highly manipulative behaviour to play the part of a grieving victim, posting a romantic Story mourning her fiance hours after his death, it points to a psychological illness. This total emotional detachment is part of a deeper behavioural disorder, which is why both of them (accused) must undergo a proper psychological assessment." He adds, "Parenting plays a massive role in shaping how a person handles immense stress. To understand why she took such a drastic step instead of just calling off the wedding, we have to look closely at her background, past relationships, and family dynamics. This case is a glaring reminder of why pre-marital counselling and psychological compatibility checks should be made compulsory before marriage." Psychiatrist Dr Paramjeet Singh says, "We see a lot of people coming to our clinics every day who have a genuine fear of marriage and the futility of long-term commitment. When shocking events like this happen, young people start quoting them to justify their own fear of getting married... People on social media keep saying, 'If you didn't want to get married, you should have just told us, we would have called it off'. But the family pressure to marry a certain person and the 'social desirability' it brings is a massive pushing factor. Even now, marriages are more of a social phenomenon than an individual choice. Many people end up getting married just to pacify their family's nerves, and that pressure is what traps them... However, you can't let a few extreme cases become the deciding criteria for your life; generalising a rare event to the whole world is just a cognitive distortion."...
