Like Water for Chocolate discussion

"Like Water for Chocolate" by Laura Esquivel beautifully describes a number of conflicts such as abusive parenting, s*xual violence, true love, and more. The central conflict in this novel revolves around the relationship between Tita and her lover Pedro. This romance is forbidden by Tita's family. Rosaura, Tita's sister, is offered to Pedro instead. He accepts, breaking Tita's heart for most of her life. This conflict is elevated by the tumultuous relationship Tita has with her mother, a strict, stubborn woman who doesn't want her daughter to marry.

Do you think Pedro should've rejected Rosaura? Is true love and emotion always something you should listen to?
