The world of Matrimonials...
Reading each other the last pages of the Indian Times on Sundays became a little weekend entertainment in our home... it's facinating how much information about the family status and wealth can be squeezed into one little newspaper ad. Indian Matrimonials are pretty much business deals. The ads are sectioned into 'by mothertongue', 'by religion', 'by caste' and 'by profession'... and one of the probably newer sections is 'second marriage'. When marriages are mentioned in conversations people always differentiate between 'arranged marriage' and 'love marriage'. The latter does still not happen very often, even today. Here are some of my favourites:
