Wedding season is once again around the corner and even a pandemic is unable to stop people from getting married. Coronavirus has not been able to stop people from leading their regular lives and the matrimonial sites and newspaper columns are flooded with advertisements by people trying to find a perfect match.

However, every time you look at the matrimonial column in the newspaper you come across bizarre demands such as ‘looking for a tall, slim, fair girl’.

Recently, we came across an extraordinary advertisement by an advocate in high court whose demands stunned many of us. IAS officer Nitin Sangwan took to Twitter and shared an advert from the matrimony section of a newspaper. The ad said that the advocate is looking for a ‘fair, beautiful, tall, slim bride’. Now, this statement is problematic in many ways but that's not all, as he also mentioned that the ‘wife should not be addicted to social media.’
