Chhidam tried to send over his brother's crime to his wife. He said that he could get another wife, but since he has only one brother, his wife should sacrifice for his brother. I think Chhidam's idea was socially and morally wrong. Chhidam's wife had to die without any crime. Chhidam's wrong traditional thought killed an innocent woman.
