Matrimony.com - statistics & facts
Arranged marriages have been a long-standing tradition in the Indian sub-continent, where families arrange the union of a bride and groom. While the process varies according to religion and community, finding a partner depends largely on the family’s social standing and caste, the bride or groom’s horoscope, educational qualification, profession and physical appearance. This process is almost always taken forward by the family elders followed by chaperoned dating of sorts. Advertisements in classifieds are also placed to search for prospective matches.
