What's A Matrimonial?
Woman's Era
|December First 2018
A high-voltage drama.

Marriages, it is said, are made in heaven. For many Indians, they are now increasingly being made on the Internet through matrimonial portals. This article is about a Bold, Beautiful, Independent Woman – a woman who built her own palace with her hard work and dedication one who loves and admire herself. It’s not necessary that she needs a man to survive. But the so-called “Indian society” around, starts pinpointing the family and the candidate as “loyal Indian citizen” (beta shaadi kab kar rahe ho/ aab toh tumhare best friend ki bhi shaadi ho gaye, tum kab karo gi? and the flow of sarcastic comments are never ending) As if the parents have hired them for this job. They are least bothered to know whether the girl or the boy are actually ready to take up this big decision.
Do they really wanna get married?
This super-active and enthusiastic bunch of Loyal Indian Citizens, roast the brains of the parents so well that even they start believing that the time has come. And, as a good child, you don’t argue. And then here you are registered on different matrimonial sites across the net. To find your perfect match. Some even believe that it’s a parent-approved “TINDER APP”. LOL!
Before we jump ahead, let me give you a small and sweet introduction to these matrimonial sites. They are just amazing! It’s a complete drama or I can say high-package drama. Each candidate whether the girl or boy – has their own page and ID no.
Basic level begins from you uploading the best and hot that pictures where your beauty is at highest peak not sure if you really look great. Because the picture and reality are poles apart. The write-up about yourself is more than what you actually are. Basically, it sounds unrealistic in simple words.
