Malayalee brides for Haryanvi Men

John Mary in the Outlook writes about why more women from Kerala (southern state in India) are opting to marry men from Haryana, a northern state in India. The reasons given -

• Malayali women are educated and make good homemakers. They are also perceived to be loyal to their husbands.


• Women from the economically backward classes find it difficult to get married in Kerala. If they stay single, they are seen as a burden by their own families.


• Marriage to a Haryanvi is hassle-free. No matching of horoscopes, no dowry demands. And the groom picks up the tab for the simple marriage ceremony.
