▼ An Indian matchmaking service has apologised after it was criticised for an advertisement that categorised "beautiful girls" as "young achievers".
The advert was for an event which was trying to bring together "highly successful young achievers" and people from "ultra-rich families".
It was carried out on the front page of a national daily and went viral online.
It is common for matrimonial agencies to organise events in India, where arranged marriages are still prevalent.
The advertisement listed their ideal clientele, which included a "young achievers" category inviting entrepreneurs, professionals, graduates from top universities and "beautiful girls".
After the advert appeared on Wednesday, people criticised it for being "sexist", "classist" and "elitist".
Many criticised it for listing beauty as an achievement for young women. (▪ ▪ ▪)
