there are some
every society there are people people who doesn't want to change. but majority doesn't care about that.
but considerable amount of people in villages consider that (I know that since I'm from a village)
Speaking of "marriage proposal columns " the people who puts such thing on the paper are mostly like that. the people who think free will find their bride or groom without a help of a paper since they have open mind. people who want every thing have to put up a adv for their son/daughter. that is separate case in marriage proposal columns machan. it doesn't reflect the society.
