A while ago, a 37-year-old woman in Mumbai was looking for a groom with an annual salary of Rs 1 crore. This started a massive debate about the arranged marriage market in India where women seek high-paying grooms and men seek women who are incredibly good-looking and are willing to be housewives.
Hence, there is a discussion that is currently ongoing on Reddit’s r/AskReddit subreddit where a user asked, “Would men marry a girl who earns a lot but looks just okay over a girl who looks stunning but expects husband to earn 10x more than her?”
“There are so many men who want a good-looking girl irrespective of how much they earn. No matter how hard-working, how intelligent a woman is, everything comes down to looks in the end for some bride seekers. In my opinion, both are right and both are wrong. I’ve seen my own male friends literally pine for a good-looking woman and they don’t care how much she earns. Similarly, I have seen women seeking husbands who earn 10x of them.,” the user further added.

Several men took to the comments section to share their preferences when it came down to marriage. Many claimed that men earning a high salary would rarely look for women who earn as much as them because money isn’t an issue for them. They are looking for women who can take care of the household. It was further highlighted that men with average salaries usually go for women who earn as much as them or more than them in order to build a comfortable life together.
For some, a woman’s morals, ethics and principles mattered more than how they looked and how much they earned.
Here’s a look at some of the responses:
