　　Marriage Advertisements in India

　　Every Sunday morning millions of Indians settle down with a cup of tea and special weekend

　　issues of their newspapers just as Americans do. But here, with the marriage season approaching,

　　many of them quickly to a Sunday feature that is particularly Indian-the-col-umns of marriage

　　advertisements in which young people look for husbands and wives. This is relatively modern

　　change in the age-old custom of the arranged marriage. The thousands of advertisements

　　published each week increasingly reflect social changes that coming to this traditional society. For

　　example, although women are still described in terms of appearance or skill in "the wifely arts",

　　information about her earning power is entering more and more of the advertisements. This

　　reflects the arrival in India of the working wife.

　　Divorce which used to be almost unheard of in India, is sometimes now mentioned in the

　　advertisements as in the case of a woman whose advertisement in New Delhi newspaper explained

　　that had been "the innocent party" when her marriage broke up.

　　Because the custom of the dowry(marriage payment)is now illegal some advertisements say

　　"no dowry" or "simple marriage" ,which means the same thing. However, the fathers of many

　　bridegrooms still require it. In a land where light skin is often regarded as socially preferable

　　many also require that a woman have a "wheatcolor" complexion or that a man be "tall, fair and

　　handsome". Advertisements are placed and eagerly read by a wide range of people in the upper

　　classes, mostly in cities. Many of them receive dozens of answers. "There's nothing embarrassing

　　about it,'explained a Calcutta businessman advertising a son-in-law. "It's just another way of

　　broadening the contacts and increasing the possibility of doing the contacts and increasing the

　　possibilities of doing the best one for one's daughter. "

　　Because of high unemployment and a generally poor standard of living here,one of the best

　　attractions a marriage advertisement can offer is a permit to live abroad, especially in Canada or

　　the United States. A person who has one can get what he wants. One recent Sunday in Madras, for

　　example, a Punjabi engineer living in San Francisco advertised for a "beautiful slim bride with

　　lovely features knowing music and dance". And a man whose advertisement said that he held an

　　American immigration permit was able to say, only girls from rich well-connected families need

　　apply.
