Let me rephrase? Will an Indian mother prefer a Chinese robot wife for her son today? What does having a robot wife entail and how good will a robot wife be? Will some Indian university for example include robot wives in their curriculum and replace robot dogs and will the government permit the import of robot wives? Let us see what are the benefits of having a robot wife.A few days ago, a friend received a marriage proposal from a girl in India who is working as a techie for her son. The proposal came through a Shadi App so she asked the boy and girl to connect to each other and carry on to take the matter forward. Her son asked his prospective bride how she would take care of his aged parents in their old age.The girl outlined her plan of action. She would buy a perfume for her mother-in-law and take her out to lunch to welcome her to their home. Then she would outsource cleaning and cooking to a maid who would be paid … well considering the couple would live in Bangalore about 10 per cent of her husband’s salary. She did not like to cook or clean and she was not interested in having children. However, she would love to keep a dog or a cat later on to deal with work related stress.

The boy then listed his demands which included having children and raising a family, interacting closely with his parents and taking over the kitchen at times of need to produce a meal for the family. The girl blocked him. It was over.Now imagine that the Chinese – who are currently working on producing a human woman look alike robot with human skin like texture and features – manage to market robot wives. These shall be equipped to cook the meals you want daily, have no demands, provide physical relations as well and do the role of a care giver to old people especially in-laws and relatives. Kriti Sanon has already done such a role for a movie in Bollywood wit Shahid Kapoor.So, this brings us back to the original question. Will wives for Indian boys be made in Chinese factories and will Indian girls prefer husbands made in China too? If that is the case then who will have babies and where will the human race go?As far as having babies is concerned governments all over the world are worried at the rapid decline in fertility in most countries especially among the rich segment of the population. The poor who contribute little to the economy are however having babies but whether they will be able to create a sustainable population and contribute to nation building is another question.

My friend’s son was asked about the benefits of a robot wife. He paused and considered. Well given the fact that comfort level with her will be very high it would be an excellent option. The best part is that the robot wife or husband will have no objection to anyone having an office romance either.Then the model can always be changed or upgraded. For example, if you don’t want an Indian wife go for an Italian model or a Chinese model or a American model or a Latina or whatever is your latest fancy. Such changes could help reduce crime and frustration too.There are other questions that we have but are not relevant to the present topic for example will such robots be used for prostitution or pornography? The question here is with marriage becoming an impossible situation between two humans will robots step in to fill in the gap?

The present scenario, the present laws do not favour a lasting marriage. The desire for basing marriage on financial issues is leading to dowry deaths and fake harassment cases and claims for alimony. In such a situation boys are preferring not to get married and girls are preferring not to stay married as there is more benefit in being divorced. For the parents of both boys and girls it would be a win win situation. Robots do not lie about their financial assets or situation in life, they do not engage in marriage scams or file fake domestic violence cases, they do not murder their wives or husbands. They respect their in-laws. WOW.
