    See this is the problem with Hindurashtra! They will do all kinds of such harakiri. They will want to marry young girls, cows, etc. their depravity comes from the fact that they're essentially uneducated, reservation driven, ration fed idiots. If the girl is poor, treat her like a daughter, fund her education, she will bless you, the karma will be manifold. But no, he wants to marry her, take advantage of her. Jai Hindostan.
