People often go to great lengths to find the perfect match for their children. One such incident, shared by a user on social media platform X, shows the lengths a father has gone to for the happiness of his beloved daughters. The post claims that the man spent Rs three lakh “as compensation” to get proposals from wealthy families – those with a turnover of over Rs 200 crore. The extravagant affair has piqued the interest of internet users and sparked a major debate over how much people are willing to spend on weddings.
“A friend's father paid 3 lacs as compensation to get rishtas only from families with a turnover of 200 Cr+,” user Mishka Rana posted on

The comments soon poured in and the post soon garnered nearly 2.5 lakh views.
“That makes sense. You should pay more for high-quality leads,” said one user. “Depending on what uncle's net worth is/how much of it daughter will inherit/whether daughter is worth it (beauty, intellect, job, position, medals). Elites should marry elites, that doesn't hurt,” said 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 cost of the wedding. Example: A wedding costing Rs 1 Crore would be the broker Rs 1-2 lakh This is then easily adjusted with the initial fee paid,” said a third user “VVVVIP Shaadi,” another user commented.
The post did not reveal anything about the family or the platform on which the compensation was paid. However, Ms Rana replied to a user that the father's net worth is “in crores”.
