Dream - People usually go to the market to buy basic necessities, such as rice, vegetables, meat, and so on. However, it is different with this market, where men are sold to be married by women. According to Al Jazeera, a groom market in the state of Bihar, India, has been operating for 700 years. The market "sells" prospective grooms who are ready to be chosen for marriage by a woman.

Meskipun pasar ini sebagian besar telah menghilang di India, tradisi di Madhubani, bagian dari wilayah Mithilanchal di Bihar, masih bertahan.

Dalam tradisi unik ini, calon suami berdiri di depan umum, dan wali laki-laki dari anak perempuan, biasanya ayah atau saudara laki-laki, memilih pengantin pria. Umumnya, pengantin wanita tidak memiliki hak untuk memilih pasangannya.

One of the prospective grooms in the market is Nirbhay Chandra Jha (35). He traveled more than 100 kilometers from Begusarai to Madhubani district in hopes of finding a suitable bride for himself. Nirbhay set a simple dowry of Rp9 million.

"Seandainya saya lebih muda, saya bisa dengan mudah meminta Rp37 juta - Rp55 juta," katanya. Penduduk setempat mengatakan, keluarga pengantin wanita mengunjungi pasar itu tanpa mengatakan niat dan mengamati para pria secara diam-diam dari jauh.

Once they have made their choice, they place a Mithila Gamchha, a red scarf, on the selected groom as a marker. Although the groom market in Bihar is not as popular as it was a few decades ago – mainly due to online dating applications – it still attracts thousands of bachelors.

Some of these single women are willing to travel hundreds of kilometers away in the hope of being chosen as a husband and receiving money as a dowry.

Interestingly, India also has a market for women's brides. In Haudati, women brides are available at various prices, depending on their qualifications and skills in managing the household. (x)
