Divorces

Over
30,000
Divorces
Every year
In an Indian
State known
For its high
Literacy rate.

Have literate
People stopped
Matching horoscopes
Before marriages?

Perhaps a few,
Not all, I guess.

Old habits
Die hard.

Superstitions
Cloud even the
Well-read mind.

Do the
Matchmakers
Ever wonder,
Why matched
Horoscopes
Still fail to
Stop failed
Marriages?
