The country is still recovering from the Indian Rebellion with poverty and famine being commonplace. It is customary for many impoverished families from the lower castes to sell their daughters as brides to make money and have less children to feed. The bride market operates as an auction. Girls are presented one at a time and auctioned by the potential grooms. The asking prices start at around 50 rupees and the final bids usually range between 100 and 400 rupees.
The scenario simulates the operation of a bride market in Guwahati. When a new girl is put up for auction, show her personal information in code blocks:

Shielded from the sizzling heat of the summer in Assam by a richly decorated tent fly, a group of men takes part in a fevered bidding. "260! I heard 260! Do I hear more? 260! I hear no more offers! Sold for 260 rupees! Blessings to the bride and the groom!" A small, round man called Mr. Pradeep nudges a girl in a colourful bridal dress in the back as he encourages her to go to the man who bought her. When he spots your red uniform through the crowd, he gives you a wide toothy smile. "Hello there, Lieutenant, sir! Are you here to take part in the auction? Sir, I'm just about to present another bride!" He encourages you, gold flashing through his grin.

Little bride will love, give her big smile!" The vendor encourages, grinning at the girl.
