International Desk: In the market, you can buy brides as you like. It sounds surprising but it is true. And the groom market is held every year in Madhubani district of Bihar state of India.

If a woman comes to that market and likes the man and consents to the marriage, her family buys the man for a fixed sum of money. After that, he started talking about marriage with the groom's family. Such traditions have been going on for about 700 years.


Netizens are also shocked to know about such a market. It is learned that men from the Maithili Brahmin community from Madhubani district of Bihar came and lined up as grooms in that market. Some are wearing old clothes, some are wearing shirts and pants. The value of the groom is determined based on his educational qualification and family identity.


Women and their families come to the market to choose a suitable groom. This special bazaar is known as 'Groom Bazar' or 'Saurath Sabha' to the locals. Such a strange market was started by King Hari Singh of Karnat dynasty. His aim was to introduce inter-caste marriage and abolish dowry. The grooms are usually dressed in red dhoti and stand under the bazaar tree. This was the custom.

 


But now groom is bought with money from that market. Netizens have their hands on their heads after hearing the story of brides being sold in the market. The people of the bride's house bought the bridegroom from that market in Bihar. One such incident has gone viral on social media like a storm. Source: Times of India
