"Dream - A father is his daughter's first love. It's no wonder that a father will do anything to make his daughter happy. Like what this man did. He is willing to pay tens of millions to a matchmaking agency to find the best husband for his daughter."
A recent social media post showed how far a father can go to keep his children happy and safe. The account owner recounted that a father he knows was willing to pay a matchmaking agency Rs 3 lakh or around Rp58 million in exchange for a proposal from a family with an annual income of over Rs 200 crore or about Rp389 billion.
"However, the user did not provide any additional information regarding the family or the name of the agency."
"However, he said that the father still paid a high price to obtain his daughter's proposal from a very wealthy family. The tweet caught the attention of netizens and sparked a debate about how much people are willing to spend on weddings."
A netizen said that such an amount of money is very normal for matchmaking agents. This fee serves as a filter to get the crè me de la crè me. The matchmaking fee is usually 1-2 percent of the total wedding cost. "This is a common thing. This fee functions as a filter to get the best partner. Usually, the matchmaking agency fee is around 1-2% of the total wedding cost. For example, for a wedding worth Rs 1 Crore or around Rp 10 million, the agency fee is about Rs 1-2 lakh or around Rp 20-Rp 38 million," said one match seeker, as reported by India Times.
"As an example, there are other users who mention similar cases. They share their family's experience of paying a matchmaking agency to find the best partner."
"My family members also did the same. They paid 2.5 lakh or around Rp48 million for a proposal from a very wealthy family. Their daughter took six months to find her match. Now they have been happily married for 6 years and have two children,"
The translation of "ungkap lainnya." to English is "other expressions."
