Matrimonial columns are a delight to read when they are openly revolting.
India columns marriage are something. When it comes to attitude and language, no hitting. They also reveal much about society. Convent 'Wheatish', 'comfortable', "educated", "innocent spouse" – are terms found in the Indian matrimonial ads and conduct their own esoteric meanings.
To begin with, are the "wives Wanted 'and' grooms wanted 'very derogatory terms treating love as commodity in the marketplace" marriage 'governed by economic principles of supply and demand? But many people like Swapan Mukherjee, a sociologist by training, disagrees, "Brides Wanted Wanted and boyfriends are not pejorative. They signify the need of the advertiser and the requirement to have specific columns. "In support Psychologist also Chrisann Almeida feels, "Marriage is considered essential for most people in India, so that the term" wanted "really reflects the need almost say, so I do not think that disparages as such. I am disheartened by the lack of romance, but the reality of things in India. "
Matrimonial ads do not show large changes over the years. From 50 almost everyone wanted to marry a young blonde girl and the groom had to be prepared financially and so-called respectable family. Well that most of the families were very particular, caste and even gotra was considered, even in 1947, was in advertising that "caste, community and religion" was a bar. Divorces have been unknown in 1947, but families of the bride and groom were very liberal open to the idea of marrying a widow. However, during the most important has been given to professional and academic experiments with a girl. When independent India just generally is sufficient if the girl was just a number series and the same 16 were considered old enough to marry. Point was not a crime if he openly asked to print. Searching ads the India marriage that appeared in the Amrita Bazar Patrika in 1947, falls in phrases like "preference of the party willing to incur educational expenses foreigners married 'or' reasonable / liberal Dot. There have been some cases where dowry is not requested or the bride's father boldly refused to pay the dowry. A nationalistic father had announced in the year of the independence of India for the marriage of his daughter, saying that "you can not pay adequate dowry according to modern standards dandy.
A look at the contemporary Indian matrimonial ads reveals words like "pretty", "Qualification professional "," respectable family "," take care, etc. .. This can lead to the question – are those that are advertising themselves as family indeed beautiful, virtuous and good, as stated by the editor? If it were really so, why do not we see so many beautiful people seeking work with great all around us in everyday life? Why not humility never appear in marriage ads?
This only proves the marriage is very simple advertising is to sell yourself or selection of a suitable match, so go all the way and sell yourself as hard as you can. Never heard of any manufacturer in any product or service? The same applies to marriage ads!
