Marriage websites are a variation of
the normal dating sites, with a focus on those wanting marriage rather
than simply dating. Typically, matrimonial sites are used by people who
prefer arranged marriage over love marriage.
Matrimonial sites register users, after which they are able to upload
their profile onto a searchable database maintained by the website. Those
users looking to find suitors can search the database with customised
searches that typically include nationality, age, gender, availability of
photograph and often religion, geographic location and caste (for websites
based in India).
In
India
Leading matrimonials sites in India are Shaadi.com and BharatMatrimony.com.
[1] All these websites are
focused on India where the matrimonials style of online dating is most
prevalent. All these websites have their own service centers around India.[2]
Indian marriage requirements can in many cases be so incredibly specific
in religion, caste, language, and location needed that the Internet suits
many potential Indian husbands and wives perfectly. There are 15 sections
for different languages on the BharatMatrimony site.
Female membership
The typical woman will begin joining matrimonial sites as soon as she
graduates college around the age of 23. Female membership at these sites
steadily increase from 18 through 26 years of age. At age 27, there is a
considerable drop-off in membership as most women seek to get married by
then. Women over 40 make up less than 3% of the enrollment.[3]
