A recent social media post on platform X has garnered attention for depicting a father’s extraordinary efforts to ensure his daughters’ happiness in finding the ideal life partner. According to the post, the man reportedly invested ₹300,000 to acquire marriage proposals from affluent families, specifically those with a turnover exceeding ₹200 crore. This lavish gesture has sparked a lively online discussion about the lengths individuals are willing to go to for wedding arrangements.
“A friend’s dad paid 3 lacs as a fee to only get rishtas from families with 200 Cr+ turnover,” the user Mishka Rana posted on X, asking others if they will do the same.

Comments soon started pouring in and the post soon received nearly 2.5 lakh views.
“Make sense. Gotta pay premium for high quality leads,” commented one user. “Depends upon what is net worth of uncle/how much of it will daughter inherit/or if daughter is worthy of it (beauty, intellect, job, position, medals). Elites should marry elites there is no harm,” commented another.
“Very normal. This fee is a filter to get creme de la creme. The matchmaker’s fee is usually 1-2% of the total expense of the marriage. Example – A wedding costing ₹ 1 Crore would get the broker ₹ 1-2 lakh easily. This is then adjusted with the initial fee paid,” a third user said. “VVVVIP Shaadi,” another user commented.
The post did not disclose any details about the family or the platform where the fee was paid. However, Ms. Rana responded to a user by stating that the father’s net worth is “in crores”.
