In my previous post “ Bride Wanted” I wrote about the advertisement of bride wanted. In this post I want to write about the advertisement of bridegroom wanted. In those advertisements of bridegroom wanted have the requirements of bridegrooms are profession, education, social status and others. The advertisements give brief descriptions of women’s physical structure, such as height, color, hair, age, and their behavior like quietness, pious, family minded etc. My question is that when the requirements of bridegrooms are their social status, education, and profession why brides’ requirements are their outlook, behavior and such things? Here where is women social status? Is they are only wealth of man? However, these disparity made by some people, media should concern about the matter.
Last night I decided that in this post I will write about the advertisement of “Bride Wanted” in the newspapers. However, fortunately when I read today’s news paper I found an article “ Pattry Chai Biggapone Pattirir Joggotaboly (The Requirement of Bride in the Advertisement of Bride Wanted)” (Prothom Alo Daily Newspaper, Bangladesh). In the article author Tapoti Barmon writes some advertisement from newspaper and analyses the issue. I also want to discuss about the fact. In everyday’s news paper some advertisements are very common which are published for wanting bride. In those advertisements they required many quality of a bride. Among those qualities their main requirements are on outlook, pious, quiet, polite, and family minded than their education and other qualities. Even though, the bridegrooms 37- 40 years old, they want young women who have those quality. Here, those advertisements represent women in a open market like a product. When any woman does not have those qualities she becomes frustrated. Momentarily her dreams break down when she reads those advertisement. I think people who write that kind of advertisement are responsible for decline the value of women. Although media are not responsible for those advertisements, they should concern about those kind of advertisement.
