The grooms father turns out to be an understanding and forward thinking man. Looking past Sarojinis immaturity and recognizing Ammaiyappan to be a good and honest man, he offers his daughter Vasantha as a prospective partner for Siva. He declares, as a veiled insult, that his obedient daughter Vasantha will accept his decision.
