Detailed explanation-1: -The doctor, who had plenty of money and good medical practice, wanted to get married to a woman who was fat. The reason he gave was that if he, the doctor husband ever made any mistake, and tried to run away, she would not be able to catch him and stop him from escaping.
Detailed explanation-2: -The doctor said that he would get married to a woman doctor who had plenty of money and a good medical practice because his own earnings were meager. She had to be fat but for a valid reason. If the doctor made some silly mistake and needed to run away she should not be able to run after him and catch him.
