Tourism minister plays the marriage counselor, and IMSC attempts to promote marriage.
BTW, how does one have a "launching" program for a website? Does the minister type w-w-w .. and presto.. the damn thing appears, and bhasans everywhere...?

‘traditional marriages often breaks up because of the unfamiliarity of the bride and groom before the marriage”?
Excuse me, which world is Sarbadhan Rai living in? Traditional marriages more often than not do NOT break up. The woman suffers quietly will taking care of her husbands (and his parents) every whim while he ‘dates’ other women on the side.
diwask, perhaps they launched the website by having a ‘hom’ and applying ‘tilak’ on the screen??? I wouldn’t be surprised if they did!!!

The following is from their homepage. Seems to be focussed on Indians. Why does our tourism minister waste his time inaugurating this? Does not he have enough work shoring up the tourism industry in this situation, if nothing else?
