Demand for US-based grooms down |
The Trump effect has turned the Indian marriage market upside down. US President Donald Trump has managed to reverse a trend that not even recession could – the demand for NRI grooms. Following sporadic incidents of violence and hate crimes against Indians in America, in the wake of Trump`s call to reclaim American jobs for the Americans, parents of prospective brides are not too keen on marrying their daughters off to those settled in the US. There is a fall of 25% in queries for NRI grooms, especially those in the US, in the last two months itself. While this number has been on a steady decline since November, the sharpest fall has come in February, due to the political developments in the US. NRI grooms are not in demand anymore. Donald Trump`s immigration policies have made Indian parents worried. Considering the recent events in the US where Indians were attacked, it`s not a safe option anymore”. The recent attacks on Indians in US have left parents scared.
