Dollar Bride

The major reason seems, highly motivated, talented and hard-working Indian women hardly get the opportunity in India to push them and achieve their potential. But after choosing NRI grooms, they build successful careers overseas, some even breaking the glass ceiling to reach dizzying career heights, run beautiful homes and bring up children. Married and abroad, this “ Dollar Bride” discovers her potential. She becomes career-oriented and combines work with running a home. She sacrifices sleep, comfort and relaxation. They even know NRI men make better husbands as they treat their partner as equals as the responsibilities are shared to keep the wheels of the routine household chores sufficiently greased for its smooth functioning. Even their families will be more open and considerate.

They eagerly wait to step ashore a land considered by many to be the Land of opportunities, money, and lifestyle and which all women fantasize in their dreams. The lure of golden apple in form of NRI groom is hard to resist. Women can do anything to look and talk like a foreigner. It is hit to be in “phoren” and to have a foreign hubby as well. Also for the purpose of marrying NRI’S, women show in their meeting their modern outlook or total Indian outlook which ever is conditioned by the Groom alliance though in real life it might have been the total reverse way. Call it the hangover or preference for NRI’S the craze for everything foreign seems to be gaining ground.

NRI’S want their wives to be well educated, ravishingly beautiful and still be shrinking violets. These men are searching for a phantom that would behave like they want. He may admire a trait of assertive nature in a female colleague, but not in a woman he wants to marry.

But the point is today’s Women being highly educated, independent still are not at all in double mind when a proposal from foreign alliance comes. The problem could be summed up their High Expectations leads to accept the proposal without having a second thought. They forget the fact marriages cannot be arranged unless truth is “embroidered”. NRI’s today depend on impersonal dotcoms for their nuptial needs and so is the case with Indian Girls in India. You can check any matrimonial site and you will see girls have filled the form on their own having a preference for NRI’s. Some dotcoms are bringing out exclusive offline matrimonial magazines for the NRI’s and in India who are looking for Matrimonial alliance.

Though this is also becoming part of Indian society but still due to the age-old traditions, the predicament of women is understandable as they are raised to have doubts about their ability, to put family first and to subsume their ambitions and dreams in the interest of family and society. They are still not allowed to decide for themselves and are not prepared for the workplace. These along with big dreams of fantasy world make them dream about NRI groom in preference to grooms from India.

In the Hebraic tradition, it is said that when a boy is born, the angels hover around the newborn and announce the name of the girl the boy would one day marry. Marriages are made in heaven. Everyone is destined to find a match made for him or her. Wedding bells surely rings whether you find a NRI groom or and Indian groom.

So ultimately all it is a question of being happy in life and live life to its fullest with your soul mate at any place. It hardly makes a difference if you get married to NRI or a groom from India, after all what matters is your compatibility and the understanding you two make in future. If you support, understand and respect each other then you can very well have a dream life back in India too. If that is missing then your life is nothing even if you are a “Dollar Bride”.
