Stone Age or Digital Era ?

This matrimonial advertisement appeared in one of the weekend newspapers today. 

Quote:

Father seeks a graduate daughter,​employed in the public sector or having permanent employment,​ pretty,​ slim, ​born in Kandy or Colombo districts areas,​only for his government employee (in the public sector),​ graduate son, ​born in 1984. Female university lecturers preferred, ​should not be from Galle or Matara districts. Reply with all details. 

Unquote.

I could not believe my eyes seeing it and thinking that such people do exist in this century still.

One may argue that it is his or their choice.

Yes, I agree that it was his or their choice but choices, as this made with prejudices, are going to harm society more, if allows to propagate openly and or discreetly.

Such people belong to the Stone age and not to the Digital era.

I feel sorry for the unlucky woman going into that household if they are really lucky to find one.
