I think what I appreciate about her is that she follows through on her convictions. She wants a love marriage, she wants to keep her child, she doesn't want to be abused by her family again and even if she's a little scared about all that she actually did follow through. It might be an idealistic world view in that time to go against the family but I like a character that backs the thought process with their actions.
Stg this man better start seeing that something is up or else so help me god I'm beating the crap out of him somehow. I can understand not recognizing the signs at first but this one is a flashing red light that our poor boy is going through it and needs you to have a little human decency
