Dear MEL Topic Readers,
India’s attitude to arranged marriage is changing. But some say not fast enough
It used to be the predominant method to find a partner or match a couple in India. Arranged marriages have been practiced in India for centuries within the same family backgrounds, financial situations, religious beliefs, and social status or caste. Lists of such basic qualifications along with the person’s physical profile are exchanged among prospective families and matchmakers to arrange a marriage. Parents used to have the ultimate say when and with whom their daughters get married, but nowadays, such information is used more to find an ideal partner online. Accordingly, the focus of the information disclosed for matchmaking has shifted from family and status to the individual’s profile, such as education, occupation, and personal interest. When a match is found, the prospective couple meets several times before making a decision whether to marry or not, instead of being decided by their parents.
So, while traditional marriage arrangement has been declining, the matchmaking process has been practically updated and used by individuals.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about the changes in India’s arranged marriage.
