Wanted: Virgin bride aged 12-16. Storm on Reddit over 69-year-old Indian marriage ad

Sadly, our mentality hasn't faded.

An old matrimonial ad from Indian Express, which the uploader claims to be from August 15, 1947 is making the rounds on social media. The specific requirements of the ad demanding a fair, healthy, educated, disciplined and accomplished virgin girl, age 12 to 16, of a highly respectable Andhra Velanati Brahmin family of decent status became the centre of discussion on the social media site Reddit.
