A growing number of Indians are hiring private detectives to check up on a prospective bride or groom's character, sexual history and finances before marriage, BBC reported.

Agencies say they've seen a huge rise in pre-matrimonial investigations to check a suitor's background, because more people are meeting online and families are less involved.

The vast majority of enquiries come from parents who want to assess the "character" of their future son-in-law, says Rahul Rai, who runs the agency. "Some have very specific requests like checking the sexual preference of someone, if they have doubts."

“婚前偵探”印度受寵

?????? 據(jù)英國廣播公司報道，越來越多的印度人在聯(lián)姻前雇傭私人偵探來打探未來新娘或新郎的品行、性史以及收入情況。
