Hyderabad: Old-school matrimonial advertisements sometimes seem amusing and bizarre for their odd preferences. One such weird matrimonial advertisement seeking a groom who is not a “software engineer” is doing rounds on social media.
The post shared on Twitter featured a matrimonial advertisement in a newspaper, seeking a groom for a 24-year-old. According to the advertisement, the groom should be an IAS/IPS, a working doctor (PG) or an industrialist/businessman from the same caste. However, what caught the eyes of the internet is a special instruction at the end which reads, “Software engineers kindly do not call.”

“This may be a news to you seeing it on a newspaper clip but this kind of behaviour and ads are prevalent on matrimony apps. Specially doctors and business families look down on Software Engineers for some reason(sic),” commented another.
