Taking to social media, the incident was shared by a friend of the daughter. The post left people divided as some believed that he went overboard, while some were fine with what the father did.

The video was shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘RanaMishka’. The post read, “A friend’s dad paid 3 lacs as a fee to only get rishtas from families with 200 Cr+ turnover! Would you.”

Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “Make sense. Gotta pay a premium for high-quality leads,” a user said. “Very normal. This fee is a filter to get crème de la crème. The matchmaker's fee is usually 1-2% of the total expense of the marriage. Example- A wedding costing Rs 1 Crore would get the broker Rs 1-2 lakh easily. This is then adjusted with the initial fee paid,” added a second person.

“Depends upon what is NET Worth of uncle / how much of it will daughter inherit / or if the daughter is worthy of it (beauty, intellect, job, position, medals). Elites should marry elites there is no harm,” added a third person. “One of the family members did the same … Paid 2.5L for Rishita from UHNI. It took six months for the girl to find her soul mate. If I don’t go wrong they have been happily married for the last 6 years and have two kids,” added another.
