Jama Taqseem, with its latest episode, has subtly introduced the topic of coexistence in a family where all members clash over ideas and cultures. The old-school parents of Qais (Talha Chahour) and the well-educated, modern parents of Laila (Mawra Hoccane) are gradually getting along and standing up for each other when needed.
In episode 23, Qais vents his anger at Laila’s mother, which is not well-received by either set of parents. Where it was expected that Qais would get support from his parents, who blatantly display a patriarchal mindset, they hold him accountable for his behaviour. Where his mother shows a seemingly softer take, his father demands that he apologise to his mother-in-law for his misbehaviour. He states that in this situation, their upbringing is in question, and his behaviour puts them in a bad light. Where he is supposed to be a good son, he should be a good son-in-law as well.
On the other hand, while Laila’s mother blames Qais’s upbringing, her father defends the couple, saying they are people of an older mindset but are not disrespectful. He also backs Qais, saying that he must have been stressed from work, which he had mentions as well. While the mother fails to understand, the father can be seen mitigating the situation for the sake of their daughter.
After the confrontation with his father, Qais finds the courage to apologise to his mother-in-law and treats her exactly how he would have treated his own mother. Reflecting on how his parents put things straight, he got down to his knees, displaying remorse and guilt. The scene is full of emotion and becomes a catalyst for fixing things between the couple as well.
Laila and Qais can have a fruitful conversation about the boundaries and barriers that arise within each generation. They both accept how they had been motivated by their mothers’ views and were unable to understand each other on the topic of having a child. The conversation concludes that the couple must always be open to communication and understand how the general gap can make their parents more stubborn in their views.
Viewers are happy to see how the drama serial has created a safe space for everyone, with different ideals and outlooks on life. It’s the way every character accepts their mistakes and makes amends that makes Jama Taqseem a great watch. A user wrote on X:
The win of #JamaTaqseem lies in the fact that all the characters are ‘human’. There is no black and white character. They make mistakes, realize it, and rectify them. And the best part is that one character or another says something that you want to say as a viewer.

Another took to X to admire how the drama serial has moved from the debate of separate living to coexistence under the same roof. They stated:
What began as a debate on the pros and cons of joint-family life vs. independent living in #JamaTaqseem has evolved into a rich look at relationship dynamics. Four in-laws under one roof is the perfect setup to explore it all. Loving every episode! #MawraHocane #TalhaChahour
