Why is Maja’s family keen on getting her married in Death Before The Wedding?

In Death Before The Wedding, Maja took her fiancé, Milosz, home to meet her parents, The fact that Milosz was of a different race surprised Mirek so much that his wife accused him of being a racist. Even though Mirek wanted Maja to marry him to save his farm, he was concerned about the man she had selected as her life mate.

Maja was astonished by her parents' sudden support for her marriage, though she intended to marry Milosz, but not within fourteen days. Milosz wasn't sure what to make of the scenario. Aside from not feeling welcomed at his fiancée's house, he was astonished when Maja revealed that she wanted to return to her hometown without first discussing her plans with him. All he wanted was for them to be on the same page, and they eventually decided to always communicate their ideas.

Soon in Death Before The Wedding, Mirek committed to doing his best to accept Milosz and persuaded him to marry Maja in two weeks to save his factory. Maja eventually realized why her parents wanted her to get married. She discovered that if she did not marry, their factory would close, which shocked her as her parents had hidden such an essential detail from her.

Regina Maja's mother in Death Before The Wedding led her to their group, which was entirely made up of women. Maja was moved by the relationship between the women and their gatherings away from men. Karolina, one of the women in their group, urged that a woman run the factory because they were equally talented, but they were never considered for managerial roles. They wanted Regina to lead them, but she lacked the courage to compete with her husband.

While Maja was urging her mother to accept the role of manager, Milosz and Mirek's bond grew. Milosz majored in logistics and manufacturing, so he naturally had ideas for increasing industrial efficiency. Mirek couldn't help but agree with Milosz, despite his initial dislike for them.

While the men on the farm made suggestions for the restructuring plan, the women decided to make their proposal. Since they were never consulted, they felt it was best to challenge the men that they could bear the duty and do it better than them. Soon the town was divided into two teams, men and women competing with each other.

While the men planned to increase the farm's productivity, the women concentrated on building awareness concerning the dairy factory. They sought to dominate social media and increase the farm's popularity. The two groups focused on devising the best strategies

According to information acquired by a local police officer, Tomek, they had closed ten dairies in a year, and they soon learned that Rylski was a suspicious man, who had previously converted two farms into estates, and one into a spa.

Ika was shocked to learn about the deal between Mirek and Rylski. Rylski refused to sell the factory to them but was forced by Ika as she threatened to disclose his invoices to the public if he did not sell the factory to Mirek and his family at a reduced price. She sympathized with them and understood how important the factory was to them.

Milosz's father tasted a sample of the cheese made by them and offered to invest in the factory. Even though it was a tiny business, he thought it was unique and worth investing in.

Rylski eventually sold the business to Mirek and his family, and Mirek then asked Regina to become the factory’s manager as he realized he had never appreciated his wife's skill after seeing how calmly she handled every situation.
