Arranged Marriages: The trend Continues!


Marriage is an important event in an individual’s life. It holds a great significant in the Indian context as it includes the union of two people, two souls and the two families. Let’s throw some light on the evergreen trend of arranged marriages in India.

Wedding in India holds great importance and finding a suitable partner is a blessed thing on the Earth. Have you ever thought that why does the constitution of arranged marriages continue in India? In a country like ours, getting married to a person chosen by the family is considered a legitimate way. About ten years ago, many people must have thought that the trend of arranged marriages would not exist. However, it is not the case so far.

The answer to this lies mainly to the traditional customs of India, where marrying at the contest of parents is considered respect for them.Moreover, even many young people in the country believe that marrying a person who is chosen or approved by the family is a better decision.The idea that love marriages are more suitable options for a long-lasting and happy relationship is not always right. A couple can share a happy relationship, irrespective of the fact that whether it is an arranged or love marriage.

Role of Matrimonial Sites

The rising trend of arranged marriages in India is witnessed by the success of several matrimony sites, which include thousands of registered members for marriage. These online marriage portals offer services to find suitable partner as per your liking for community, age, occupation, etc. These sites are trusted and have gained popularity among young professionals and families seeking a perfect match for their son or daughter.
Like we cannot choose our parents, sisters, or brothers, marriage is a relationship that cannot be always chosen by us.Similarly, the status of marriage cannot be predicted. Its success completely depends on the two people tying the nuptial knot. So, whether the couple falls for arrange or love marriage, the idea of arranged marriage still holds charm.
