SOLAPUR: Mahesh Lahoo Garad, a 28-year-old onion farmer from Ranmasale village in drought-struck Solapur, has been waiting for a bride for three years. But each time a prospective bride's family visits his home, they do not return.

"They see how their daughters will have to struggle to fetch water. So they don't come back to take the talks further," says Mahesh. "It looks like I will have to migrate to find a bride."

The severe water crisis in Ranmasale is driving brides away from the arid village. And since most in the 5,000-strong village belong to the Garad clan from the Maratha community and are considered related, they cannot marry within the village. They seek brides and grooms from other regions.

"There are at least 200 bachelors in the village in the 25-35 age-group who have not found brides," states deputy sarpanch Balaji Garad. This doesn't affect the village girls though, since they marry and settle into villages outside.
