Chandigarh, March 9

Bharat Matrimony, a platform designed to seek brides and grooms, is in the middle of row after it shared a video on Holi and International Women’s day.

“This Women’s Day & Holi, let’s celebrate by creating safer and more inclusive spaces for women. It’s important to acknowledge the challenges that women face in public spaces and create a society that truly respects their well-being - today & forever,” reads the caption of the post.

The video features a woman who washes her face after playing Holi only to see her face left in bruises.

The shared post has accumulated over 1.8 million views.

The matrimony platform perhaps tried to convey a message against domestic violence but is facing massive ire over ‘portraying Hindu festival in bad light’ by associating a social message with Holi. Many started a campaign to ban the site and apprise people about its mentality.
