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

?????? 據英國廣播公司報道，越來越多的印度人在聯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。

?????? 很多偵探事務所表示，由于越來越多的人是通過網絡相識，而家庭成員很少參與，所以婚前對追求者的調查需求才會大大增加。

?????? 經營偵探事務所的拉胡爾?萊說，絕大部分需求都是來自想要評估未來女婿品行的家長，“有些客戶會提出特別明確的要求，比如客戶懷疑對方的性傾向，就委托我們查證一下。”
