Came across this, and found it too funny!

Here is an extract:

"Given the difficulty in finding matches for Indians abroad, some
matchmakers are now charging them more. Mr. Dave of Klassic Match charges a
minimum fee of $100, versus $50 for candidates living in India. He charges
more for specific requirements. For instance, he says some overseas Indians
want a bride who is smart, fluent in English, and "simultaneously, docile in
the house." He says such women are now harder to find, so he bumps up his
fees for some searches."

I suspect this is satire, even the names of the marriage bureaus seem too
fantastic!
