Who writes this stuff?

Every father has to get his daughter married: HC

For a brief, fleeting moment I pitied my poor Dad! As if societal pressure wasn't enough, he now had the law to contend with! The feminist in me was also quite annoyed that they didn't include a role for the mother in this "getting the daughter married" business.

Actually, the headline is kind of deceptive. The article is about something quite different. And not as cringe-inducing as the headline itself. Yellower than the daffodills I "wept to see hastening away too soon", whilst I was in pigtails in the 6th standard, this stuff is.
