On one side the whole country was dipped in the turmoil of the placard photograph by Gurmeher and the prominent peoples’ tweets on her. Putting aside the serious subjects, there is another incident that took place on social media platform Twitter.
A Pakistani woman with Twitter user ID @oh_my_mascara made a tweet asking her countrywomen to share the reason behind their rejection of any marriage proposal. She specified to share the flaw in physical appearance that resulted in their rejection.
This tweet made by her roped in the comments flood out of which many were quite hilarious and are relatable to the Indian women too.
As marriages play a crucial role in our individual life, people are too much concerned with the physical appearances of the to be ones. But, the rejecting a person for having bad front teeth, fingers little and ears straight or curved is beyond being silly.
Here’s Her Tweet:
Ladies, quote this with whatever physical appearance you were rejected for by rishta people. I was rejected yesterday for bad front teeth.

Pakistan is already considered as the trademark for being orthodox and bordering limits to woman’s freedom. But these responses to her tweet might trigger you to understand that these are the silly reasons that can be relatable to the Indian women or might also happen with a woman from any country.
And responses:

Unfortunately it’s always the Ghar walas that do the rejection not the guys themselves. Only one reason for me though. Overweight. https://t.co/G7BgdZ2t9r
