An Indian man seeks a bride who is “not addicted to social media”. This matrimonial ad by a 37-year-old lawyer from West Bengal went viral on Twitter.
Nitin Sangwan, an IAS officer, shared the photo of the print ad with a sarcastic comment on Twitter. He wrote: “Prospective brides/grooms, please pay attention. Matchmaking criteria are changing.” In the ad the man mentioned his age, occupation, and place of residence before writing: “With no demand, groom seeks fair, beautiful, tall, a slim bride. The bride must not be addicted to social media.”
Prospective brides/grooms please pay attention.
