Ditto lmao I didn’t even realize till I read your comment that it wasn’t PayPal lol honestly I was wondering why they were impressed by his PayPal account lol
I'm not from India nor am I particularly familiar with the local culture or the culture surrounding arranged marriages, but my best guess is, as is the case with a lot of traditional cultures, that there is a lot of pressure on the woman to be the perfect housewife whereas the man is expected to do nothing at home and just be taken care of. The last frame shows the mother of the potential groom looking distraught (and I guess the potential bride looking amused?), because I guess she didn't expect the family of the bride to put the same kind of pressure/standards on the groom as his family puts on the bride.
But that's only my guess, I'd be happier if someone who's actually familiar with this culture could explain.
(Edit: oh wow I've used the word guess so much in this comment I'm starting to feel like it's not a real word. I only meant to emphasize that I'm not trying to explain this to anyone confidently because I'm only trying to interpret this through my limited knowledge)
You're right. Mostly the groom and his family visit the bride to be, to finalize the wedding (dowry, bride's family background etc.). Groom and his family are usually not scrutinized in this way in this process, even though the bride is supposed to go live with them. Over time this has come to change a bit, but not much. So this ad is trying to show that the modern parents are considering the girl and the boy to be equals, which is creative IMO.
But that's only my guess, I'd be happier if someone who's actually familiar with this culture could explain.
