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(guó)廣播公司報(bào)道，越來(lái)越多的印度人在聯(lián)姻前雇傭私人偵探來(lái)打探未來(lái)新娘或新郎的品行、性史以及收入情況。

?????? 很多偵探事務(wù)所表示，由于越來(lái)越多的人是通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò)相識(shí)，而家庭成員很少參與，所以婚前對(duì)追求者的調(diào)查需求才會(huì)大大增加。

?????? 經(jīng)營(yíng)偵探事務(wù)所的拉胡爾?萊說(shuō)，絕大部分需求都是來(lái)自想要評(píng)估未來(lái)女婿品行的家長(zhǎng)，“有些客戶(hù)會(huì)提出特別明確的要求，比如客戶(hù)懷疑對(duì)方的性?xún)A向，就委托我們查證一下。”
