There is this high quality[1] article/blog post I've seen before on HN in relation to software and Japan and it mentions it too: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2014/11/07/doing-business-in-japan/

The paragraph starting with the sentence "Don’t have a wife?" and the next one after it mention that practice, it's too much to copy paste in here.

[1] as in - lengthy, detailed and well written, but I can't judge the content itself.



That's written by patio11, who wrote the comment above.


I see.

I had no idea and he didn't link to it and the explanation there is much longer and clearer than the one line remark about Japanese boss "sourcing the bride" in the comment was. People are taking the comment to mean some medieval style arranged forced marriage.
