公務員成印度岳母最中意的女婿人選

Public Civil Service Commission in Bihar, India's most populous state, has reported a surge in visits from 5,000 families looking for grooms with lucrative bride income potential for their daughters。

印度人口最多的邦-比哈爾邦最近報道，已經有5000多個有待嫁女的家庭拜訪過改邦負責公務員人事任命的委員會，希望可以爲女兒找到可能得過大筆賄賂款的新郎。

Although most civil servants in India earn tiny salaries, they can still take home vast sums from corrupt dealings, depending on which department they serve。

雖然印度大多數公務員工資微薄，但他們卻有可能通過腐敗行爲拿回大筆的錢，這和他們所處的部門有很大關係。

The state's former Director - General of Police told The Daily Telegraph families wanted their daughters to marry civil servants because they know they will take home high, tax-free bribe payments。

比哈爾邦前警察總監告訴《每日電訊報》，印度很多家庭的父母都希望自己的女兒能嫁給公務員，因爲他們可以拿回家高額免稅的受賄款。

"There is widespread acceptance of graft in the society. No parent gives a damn about monthly salary, all they are concerned about is whether he (the groom) is at a position which allows him to take bribes," he said。

他說：“印度社會普遍認可瀆職行爲，沒有父母會譴責孩子受賄，岳父母們只擔心自己的女婿沒有謀到一個可以受賄的公務員職位。”
