Three years post Nirbhaya, The Quint asks some interesting questions: are women finally able to reclaim their identities, their bodies and their selves? Are they truly nirbhay, fearless and opinionated?

These women are fiercely claiming that they are. Take a look at when The Quint’s ladies put up their own demands for a suitable boy!

Indhuja Pillai’s punch-in-your-face matrimonial CV went viral. No online shaadi portal nor prospective grooms, nor their Mummy-Papa had ever seen anything like that! And now, the ladies of The Quint are putting it out there as well. Presenting the Buri Ladkis’ list of demands for their Suitable Boy!
