Overview
- Matchmaker Oendrila Kapoor said in an Instagram video that a 37-year-old divorced IIT graduate asked her to find a Brahmin bride under 30 who had never dated and was a virgin, and she said she declined to onboard him.
- According to Kapoor, the man cited unspecified “research” to claim a woman’s past partners predict infidelity, then dismissed the same standard for himself by saying it did not apply to a man.
- Kapoor said the man claimed he was getting such proposals on Shaadi.com but wanted her to vet profiles because he did not trust matrimonial sites due to scams and fraud.
- The post drew tens of thousands of views and a wave of comments, with many users calling the demands entitled and misogynistic, while a smaller group framed them as personal choice.
- Newsrooms reporting on the viral clip noted they have not independently verified the claims, and the episode has refocused attention on how caste, age and “purity” ideals still shape parts of India’s arranged-marriage market despite the rise of dating and matrimonial apps.
