Sherlock Holmes Gets a New Task- Parents Skeptical About Prospective Matches Hire Detectives

The importance of marriages in India has been growing and gaining popularity in abroad as well. Marriage is a lifelong commitment between two individuals and is considered to be the most sacred relation in Hindu mythology.

The concept of marriage, now days, is facing an encounter with modernization. Television and Online Matrimonials are enough testimony to the evolving ways of getting married. They may facilitate or ease the process of finding the right match but also bring with them insecurities and uncertainties. Both parents and the individuals are always found concerned about the behavioral and characteristic traits of the potential match, guy or girl.

Since, one can never be sure of the habits and character of a person based on information from limited sources like relatives, neighbors, etc., why not hire a private detective? Yes, this is exactly what the Indian parents have been doing to make sure that the prospective son-in law or daughter-in-law is the perfect choice. In order to put the seal of surety and to confirm that they are not risking their child’s life by marrying him/ her off to that particular person, parents are hiring detectives.

The fact that matrimonial websites have comforted the process of finding good partners has been unanimously agreed to by parents. But, concerns have risen due to physical distance and absence of connection, thereby, encouraging them to hire services from an agency that can verify credentials of the match. While voicing their concerns, parents added that if they could spend lakhs of rupees on the wedding celebration, can’t they shell out a mere 1% to ensure lifelong happiness of their children.

The job of these detectives is to report about the prospective partner’s lifestyle, friend group, habits, etc. Investigation agencies agree to the spurt in their business as parents are increasingly hiring their services.
