Man seeks bride “not addicted to social media.”
A matrimonial advertisement seeking a bride who is “not addicted to social media” has created a huge buzz online.
While many matrimonial adverts in the past had been criticised for being regressive and sexist, this one had gone viral for its rather “unusual demand” in an era where most people use at least one social media platform.
The advert was placed in a newspaper by a 37-year-old lawyer. A picture of the advert was shared on Twitter.
The man seeking a prospective bride stated his own age, occupation and place of residence before writing: “Groom seeks fair, beautiful, tall, slim bride. Bride must not be addicted to social media.”
The advertisement had left many citizens wondering how this criteria would be met in a day and age where most people use Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, if not all of them.

Loose goat evades pursuing police in Georgia
Police in Georgia are hot on the trail of a ‘hoofed Houdini’ — an escaped goat spotted running loose in Duluth.
The Duluth Police Department said on social media that numerous calls came on Tuesday, reporting a loose goat ‘trotting’ on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard ‘like it had somewhere very important to be.’
“Officers responded and attempted to corral the hoofed Houdini as it made its way toward Albion Farm Road, where it hopped a few fences and outsmarted us by disappearing into backyards,” the post said.
Police suspect the goat might be the same animal seen running loose recently in Suwanee.
“Apparently, it had unfinished business in Duluth,” police wrote.
