Viral Post Ignites Discussion

A recent post by matchmaker and dating coach Oindrila Kapoor has stirred a significant debate online. In her post, she revealed the demands of a 37-year-old divorced IIT graduate who is searching for a bride with no past relationships.

Despite being divorced himself, the individual reportedly insisted on marrying a woman under 30 from the Brahmin community, who has never been in a relationship and is a virgin.

According to Kapoor, the man described himself as a highly successful professional, holding a director position at a billion-dollar company. However, his expectations raised eyebrows.

He specified that he wanted a girl who is under 30, has never been married, has never been in a relationship, and ideally, has had no physical intimacy with anyone.

When Kapoor questioned the practicality and fairness of such demands, he remained adamant, claiming there was a 'reason' behind them.

To justify his criteria, he referenced an obscure 'research' suggesting that women with multiple past partners are more likely to be unfaithful.

Kapoor countered by asking if the same logic applied to him as a divorced man. His response was, 'No, that’s not a fair comparison.'

Many online users perceived his stance as a double standard, especially after he remarked, 'Because I am a man.'

Kapoor challenged the reality of his expectations, suggesting that a woman meeting his criteria would likely come from a conservative background, which might not accept a 37-year-old divorcee.

Despite claiming to receive proposals on Shaadi.com, he expressed concerns about scams and sought external verification.

Kapoor ultimately declined to work with him, stating, 'I don’t think you are being scammed. I believe you are the one trying to deceive women with your conservative, patriarchal mindset.'

She clarified that there is a difference between personal preferences and blatant hypocrisy, arguing that he wanted control over his partner's past rather than mutual compatibility.

Kapoor's post quickly went viral, eliciting a range of reactions. Many users deemed the man's expectations unrealistic and sexist.

One user commented, 'Men and their audacity.' Another remarked, 'This is astonishing.' A third noted, 'Now we understand why he got divorced.' Others suggested that divorced individuals should seek partners who are also divorced.

Some users shared their own experiences, with one recounting how they rejected a divorced man because his family blamed his ex-wife entirely for the divorce.
