Although matrimonials had their origins in newspaper ads, the word is increasingly used to refer to marriage websites.
Marriage websites, or online matrimonial sites, are a variation of the standard dating websites, with a focus on those wanting marriage rather than simply dating. Generally, matrimonial sites are used by people who prefer arranged marriage over love marriage. The term planned marriage is reserved for marriages which are made after interaction through matrimonial websites.
Matrimonial sites are particularly popular in India, where the culture of arranged marriages still rules the roost. These sites enable people who are looking for a marriage partner to find suitable matches from all over the world.
Matrimonial sites register users, after which they are able to upload their profile onto a database maintained by the website. Those users looking for suitors can search the database with customised searches that typically include country of birth, age, gender, geographic location, and often religion, and caste(for those living in India).
We have several categories as well as their related sub-categories where we provide a number of links. You can also submit resourceful links in each related category.
