She also meets Bengt Hall, a wealthy man. Even though his parents do not think she is good enough for him, they get married. After a while, Bengt begins to get very jealous of her interactions with other men, and he starts to abuse her. Meanwhile, Berit has become pregnant, however she doesn't know who the father is.
