I kid you not, these matrimonial advertisements actually appeared in last Sunday’s edition of Times of India. The original link is here; go to page 36 of the 13th Mar. issue if the link acts funny. Here you go :
My picks : Should not be mamas boy; salary in 7 figures; 28-year old business class Punjabi boy.

Well, going by the slim, fair,homely, should take care of his parents as her own ads placed for brides, these ain’t so bad! :))
Also, I guess these women believe in being safe than sorry, very typical issues most of them face later have been clarified beforehand!
