People often say that marriages are made in heaven, a bond between two people for a lifetime of love and partnership. But a recent viral tweet is showing a very different side of how modern marriages are viewed today.

What does the tweet say?

The tweet read: “My earnings are approx 25LPA, boys with 70 to 80 LPA are ready to settle with me in India and abroad. I must say, educated and independent women of the current generation have a lot of privileges. So focus on education and empowering yourself. What was meant to inspire young women has now sparked a big debate online about money.

‘Boys don’t care about the wife’s money’

Netizens are divided over the tweet with some even questioning if marriages are always about money. A user noted, “Boys don’t care about the wife’s money. They just want a good wife who will respect him and his family. Any boy will anyday choose a simple 0 earning woman over a woman earning 15 LPA but arrogant woman who doesn’t respect his family.”

Another claimed, “Marriage is a much broader concept than only monetary packages. While to agree that an independent woman will always have an advantage to be not dependent on someone else. But the higher you climb professionally the more watchful you have to be in your personal lives.”

“So it’s basically a business deal not a marriage or relationship thing,” added another netizen. “Most of the arrange marriage are decided based on status, that’s harsh reality of life,” opined a user “Well i saw a labourer much happier with a 10k salary with his wife n children than my own sister after marriage,” wrote a netizen.
