An Indian Cartoon From 1962 Talks About Arranged Marriages And Finding The Perfect Wife. Cute Or Sexist?

Sriparna

Wives and Wives is a state sponsored animated cartoon made in the 60s.

The video’s description reads, “In the mighty task of building a new India everybody in the country has his or her effective role to play. So has the housewife. This is what the cartoon depicts with a humorous little story written around a modern bachelor who visits a marriage bureau to select a bride, to be precise a good housewife.”

Kind of goes to show how arranged marriages in India haven’t changed one bit in what, 50 odd years?
