Indians Looking to Indian Matrimonials Profiles Instead of Arranged Marriage

What was once understood as the norm amongst Indians: arranged marriage is starting to subside. Meeting through matrimonials sites is now the rage.

The traditional Indian folk would find a partner for their sons/daughters by letting people in the community know that their child was available. Parents of other available children would get the word and try to make a match.

Then things shifted a bit to where people post matrimonial advertisements in the newspaper. The problem that a lot of modern youth feel about it is that there is too much parental involvement in the matchmaking process.

Now people are taking it upon themselves to find partners via online matchmaking venues and dating sites. Online matrimonials sites have doubled and tripled in the past 3-5 years alone. As the web grows in popularity, the masses of individuals in India will be using online marriage sites.

Right now, many marriage counselors and matchmakers in India are referring people to marriage websites. For people who do not have Internet access, they are able to still log in and join without worry and view profiles. They can make contacts without themselves being online.

The beauty of the Internet, making the world find love and romance. It is very common for individuals to be putting up a profile for themselves but parents, uncles, aunts, and siblings also post profiles for prospective brides and grooms.

In India, where women are generally looking for love partners before officially graduating, they do not have time to look for partners while married. Therefore, others do it for them.
