Punished twice!

There is another side to the story of chastity icon Nalayini

Now, what does the trope try to convey? That a woman gets her pound of flesh (pun unintended), never mind her status? That it is such an offence bordering on sin to have a sexual desire that the spouse abandons her? And what is the retribution for the husband, who tortured his wife in order to check her chastity threshold and then left her unmindful of the selfless service she did all those years? No accountability there.

Why it is said that he cursed her to be born as a woman who will wed 5 husbands?

Is that a curse? Heck No!
Its a boon!
Even a Muslim male is only allowed 4 wives! LOL

Here she was blessed to have 5 husbands that too she was born a beautiful princess who married 5 princes..kya boon yaar! Nothing to complain.
