Click and you get what you want!

With e-marriages you now get to choose your guy or gal just as you’d choose some gadget... list out the specifications you need, click and you get what you want!

These portals guarantee privacy both in terms of pictures posted, as well as information provided, thus ensuring that only people serious about marriage get listed. Parents can now take a backseat while their sons or daughters make their selection. Once they are sure about their decision, parents intervene to take the matter ahead and solemnise the affair.

“My parents were scandalised when I told them that I was going to meet a guy I had come across on Orkut, but today they have no issues with me meeting random men I find suitable on matrimonial sites, that too when most of the time I reject them after meeting them once. I guess the word matrimony works wonders on their mind!” says Rhea Mohan, Fashion Photographer, who has met plenty of potential suitors through matrimonial sites. So, the junction at which our society stands is that if children date through marriage portals, it is respectable, but if they meet via social networking sites then it is against our moral values. “If Facebook can be used for networking, why can’t Shaadi.com be used for similar purposes, considering that it is a platform to bring people with marriage on their agenda together at one place. Also, I might land up marrying someone I meet on Facebook and might not marry anyone I meet through Shaadi.com. It’s about the zing and that can be found at any place. I am game for it but I do realise that it might not work the same way for everyone,” says Rishi Chandna, Assistant Manager at Colliers International, and a frequent social networking site surfer.

Thus people’s priorities are altering and the changing times command that to build a connection with that special someone, get a high speed Internet connection!
