An Immigration officer at the Dhaka airport in Bangladesh turned matchmaker for a woman passenger and the hilarious encounter has now gone viral on the internet. It is not unusual for young women to receive wedding ‘rishtas’ when they attend family functions or other social gatherings. But the likeliness of getting matrimonial help from an immigration officer is rather unheard of. A Twitter user who was offered the aid shared the story online of her conversation with the on-duty officer at the Dhaka airport.
According to the events shared by her, it was after enquiring details about her parents and marital status that the immigration officer advised her to marry a Bangladeshi boy. He wished for the lady to ‘settle’ in Dhaka and also got hold of her local number just in case he finds an appropriate suitor for her during work. “Immigration officer at Dhaka airport after enquiring about me, my parents, my marital status and my profession has advised me to find a Bangladeshi boy, get married and ‘settle’ in Dhaka. He also noted my local ph no. and said he would be in touch if a ‘suitable match’ come up,” tweeted the lady while sharing her bizarre experience.
