A pimp from a red light area marries a religious girl in a village and sells her to the brothel house making her believe that the house is her in laws house. Soon the girl comes to know about the reality but due to her up bringing in a cultured and religious family, she still considers the pimp her husband.
Despite many threats and ill-treatment she never bows to the wishes of the brothel owner. When the pimp tells her that their marriage was false and a fraud, she sticks to her stand that the Sacred Fire around which they were married was not false. The vedic mantras were not false, Kanyadaan by her father was not false.
How the girl comes out of this hell. How the soul of her husband is awakened forms the rest of the film.
