Matrimony, gender norms & matchmaking experiments


Listen Later

We are back after a quick hiatus with our regularly scheduled programming. This week we are tackling the slippery slope of matrimony. As 25 year olds, we are already being pushed into the fiery pit of taunts like ‘when are you getting married?’ and ‘you’re next in line’  from Indian aunties. So we’re taking a look at a list of reasons, courtesy of the Indian society, as to why marriage is important and necessary, and how life is incomplete without a husband/ wife. We also discuss our recent sting operation into the professional matchmaking business of Shaadi.com i.e. the Indian version of the hunger games. From the cookie cutter profiles to the pictures and descriptions carefully curated for Indian sensibilities, we’re taking a look at the business end of matches made in heaven. Enjoy!

PS: If you haven’t realized yet, we do not want to get married and we talk about why.
