Arranged marriages were common worldwide till the 18th century. However in India they are still very popular as Indian marriages are not just the coming together of two individuals but of two families. Vows for Eternity, is one of very select Indian matrimonial websites based in USA , with a major presence in India as well.
In days gone by, the elders of the family would, by word of mouth, tell each other about eligible boys and girls, who were of marriageable age. At marriage ceremonies and functions, often young men and women would be taken along to be ‘seen’ by prospective families and many a marriages would be finalized with the blessings of the elders. However, with more and more Indians going outside India and being spread out all over the world the ‘old way’ of finding the right partner is no longer as successful. In India we have depended a lot on our elders to guide us in finding a good match as people lived together in large joint families and everyone knew everyone. With families getting nuclear, and busier, and being more geographically spread out there is a great need that has arisen for Indian matrimonial websites to help in finding that someone special.
Indian Matrimonial Websites are getting to be an important part in the lives of people looking to get married. They have a strong database of both men and women from all strata of society, all religions, caste and creed. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Indian matrimonial websites have to some extent taken over the role of our elders. That is another reason why inter caste marriages are gaining in popularity, or numbers. Maybe not entirely out of choice, but because sometimes it is getting increasingly difficult to find a ‘suitable’ match from the same community. And at other times, due to more and more Indians going abroad and settling down. This often changes the mindset and people more cosmopolitan and are open to look outside their community. The focus is on finding the best match and websites play a big role in getting people together from different communities, cities and sometimes even countries!
Vows for Eternity, offers a personalized, confidential matrimonial search service catering to the affluent Indian/ NRI who are highly educated and well settled.
