Marriages are made in heaven, so goes the saying. We are not new to this statement, which often gets overrated at times. Unlike in western countries, where marriage is based on pre-marital relationships, Indian families prefer arranged marriages. Here, a suitable marriage proposal is often forwarded by relatives, friends or by the marriage bureau. Families of prospective brides and bride grooms get themselves registered with a marriage bureau once they attain marriageable age. Although growing corporatization has changed the way we look at relationships here, families still prefer to take the traditional route of getting their prospective son/daughter registered with such a bureau.
A large number of marriage bureaus have surfaced over the years to take up the role of local match maker. Banking on the lucrative business, marriage bureaus have set themselves up in different states making it easy for their customers. Various marriage bureaus operate in Delhi, Bihar/Patna, Kanpur, Lucknow, Bikaner and other places. A mere Google search of the word – Marriage Bureau – will hold the point. Prospective seekers can register their names with the kundli and other details to find possible match for their sons and daughters.
Without giving more writing space to the commercialisation of the business, let’s just look at the positives of getting registered at matrimonial sites. Let us try to understand how they operate. Does it actually make the job easy for us to find suitable match?
Zeroing on a suitable match that fills most of our conditions are often pain staking. In most cases, one finds a hard time in finding the right kundli. Some way or the other, you tend to alienate most of the prerequisites set en route to find the best match for your son/daughter. Here is when the role of online matchmaking sites comes into play.
Marriage sites make it easy for clients to find the best suitable match. Once registered at a particular site, one can select their match from their own community. A bride groom belonging to a particular caste hardly has to break a sweat while looking for partners in their respective community. Money spent is money worth here. Given the fact, that one gets to choose from a wide array of potential partners, money takes a backseat. The response time to a proposal is quick and instant on Indian matrimonial sites.
Getting registered is also fast and easy. A client is asked to provide a bio-data, which includes the star, time and other details of the seeker, which is displayed to others looking for someone to meet their criteria. Once a potential partner is identified, the focus shifts to other features mentioned in the profile on the online matchmaking site. Moreover, one can initiate the proposal without worrying the authenticity of the person concerned.
Though, we can’t argue whether a marriage is made in heaven or not, but one can guarantee on finding the ideal match through marriage sites.
