India continues to be one of the advanced nations that follows the practice of arranged marriages. No doubt, marriage is a foundation of civilised society but some matrimonial adverts tell us how sad and lonely human beings can get.
The Punjabi Khatri Charm of the charming prince
It’s sad that this gentleman felt the necessity to specify that he looks only 40, because we are that vain!
This ad can make anyone laugh like crazy: Innocent divorcee
Pray tell what exactly is an innocent divorcee? It’s so demeaning that one could scream!
H1-VISA no bar: *Applause*
Why would H1 Visa be a bar in the first place. Once we figure that out we’ll be able to understand the whole no bar thing.
It’s curable: What?
How awful! First the stress of what sounds like a gruesome divorce, and then this public ad. Or maybe this is an effort by parents to hide the sexual preferences of their son. Either way it is so very, very sad.
No mama’s boy: The stupid world
Te only good thing in this one is that society appears to finally have realised the dysfunctional relationship between Indian mothers and their sons.
‘Non-veg’ daughter: Non veg daughter, right?
They have actually listed their own daughter like a commodity specifying all the ingredients. Very Fair, beautiful, age, height, MBA from Symbiosis, and she eats Non Veg wooohoooo!
Ouch: Need to graduate in some other field
The marriage market is clearly a killer world and you must be strong to survive the humiliation.
