The Matrimonial Ads


The ads called "matrimonials" in India are aimed at finding appropriate spouse.  The ads run under such headings as Brahmin, Kshetriya or any professionals like doctors, engineers etc.  Some of India's leading newspapers like The Times of India, The Hindustan Times, The Loksatta, Dainik  Jagran etc public matrimonial ads every weekend. The ads are split evenly between the "Grooms Wanted For" and "Brides Wanted For" sections.  The recent examples of ads like, "A beautiful girl, 28 years old, educated, caste no bar is looking for a well settled man, own house, living in city".  The similar other ads in 'Brides wanted section' published like - The modern boy, 28/165, Medium build, smart, Civil Engr working in metro city having a rational progressive and liberal outlook seeks an educated, beautiful and preferably professionally qualified girl with similar outlook." 

The days when people used to arrange marriages is gone.  Marriage has become a seasonal business. The interesting is most people would not marry outside of their caste.  Brides family expect a man is well settled.  Groom look for a beautiful woman.

Marriage is a costly business today.  Many young people going age bar due to difficulty of finding a good spouse.

Does caste change after marriage?

* A woman’s caste does not change after marriage. Caste is determined by birth. By default , the father’s caste is the child's caste. Marriage does not alter the caste of someone. So, OBC lady cannot become a SC just because she married a SC male. However, the children of them will belong to SC as the father is a SC. However, there are certain exception in case child of such wedlock ( father UR but mother Reserved) who is raised in reserved community and separated or absence of father presence, he may be treated reserved as per mother caste. There are many exceptions : 1. When orphan child is adopted by mother of reserve caste. 2. When generation of Indian father of reserve caste live outside of India ( with no caste system) and when grand children return to India which caste they will be.

What is the difference between 'sin' and 'offence' ?

Sin is an immoral, bad, unethical and unlawful thing in the eyes of society.  Offence is an unlawful and illegal act or omission which is punishable by the law.  Adultery, prostitution, sex before marriage, eating animals these some of things are considered as sin in the Indian society. But sin is not punishable by the law. The man who commits sin is responsible to the god.  Murder, rape, bigamy, theft, violation of traffic rules these are the some offences. These offences are punishable by law with capital punishment, imprisonment or by fine.  Sin is not a crime. The role of police and judge starts when sin becomes an offence. When it's a sin, it can not be questioned. Police and judge can not take cognizance of sin. A person responsible for sin is answerable before the Supreme Lord of the universe on the day of judgement.
