Rishton Se Badi Pratha (transl. Customs, More Important Than Relationships) is an Indian television series that premiered on Colors TV on 15 November 2010.

Plot

It narrates the story of two lovers, Abhay and Surbhi, living in western Uttar Pradesh. They incur the wrath of their respective families when they elope with each other. Their family members decide to teach them a lesson by the barbaric practice of honour killing. However, when Abhay reveals that Surbhi is expecting his child, his family spares the couple's lives in the hope of a son being born to her. Surrounded by hostile relatives, Abhay and Surbhi have to cross many hurdles in order to safeguard themselves and their child.

Background

This series failed to gain the expected popularity and therefore ended earlier than was intended. Moreover, it was also under the scanner of the Information and Broadcast Ministry of the Government of India for telecasting violent beating scenes, especially those involving the female protagonist.
