The vice-versa situation?
In the same video, the guy also questioned a few men and asked if they would marry a woman who is unemployed. And most of the guys featured in the clip said they would.
"I come from a household where I think the guy is the provider. He should provide for the girl and the family. I think that is purely my duty," one of the men in the video said.
"If I love her, why not!" another said.
Meanwhile, one of the men claimed that guys would marry a girl who is unemployed but the case would "never" be vice-versa.
"I think right now we are that stage of life where we are looking for a woman to marry but they have a very big standard," he added.
"If they're earning let's say 5-10 LPA, they want man with (earning) 25-30 LPA. So I'm not able to understand the difference," he said.
