The BBC speaks to those behind an Indian matrimonial ad seeking a “non-farting, non-burping, rich man”.

“When I unrolled it, it had the email address – curbyourpatriarchy@gmail.com – and the password. I had no idea what I was supposed to do with that,” she told me on the phone from her home. “In the morning, Srijan brought me a copy of the newspaper with the page opened to the matrimonial columns and we had a good laugh. It was a fun prank.”
