Priorities? Photo Showing 'Matrimony Store' At Chennai Airport Goes Viral, Leaves People Confused

Duty-free stores are retail outlets found primarily in international airports, seaports, and border crossings. These stores offer products such as alcohol, tobacco, perfume, cosmetics, electronics, clothing, and various other goods to international travellers at reduced or exempted import duties and taxes.

The term "duty-free" means that the products sold in these stores are exempt from local or national import duties, customs tariffs, and taxes, making them more affordable for travellers. But have you ever seen a matrimonial store at an airport?

How did people react?

"It was strange to find this one store at the airport with this one lady with a laptop who was always on the phone. The airport atmosphere was quite mid-level. Considering my city's, I don't get to brag either," an 'X' user replied.

"Next, waiting for some influencers to get married at the airport and then fly to the Maldives," added another. The most ineffective airport in Indian cities."

"I've never understood the necessity for so many luggage businesses in an airport's security area, where you've essentially gotten rid of your bags... "This is even worse than that," said another.
