Nowadays, there are two main ways to get married – arranged marriage and love marriage. In an arranged marriage, parents or family members find a suitable partner. In a love marriage, people choose their own partner. Now, choosing a partner online has also become very popular. People create profiles on matrimonial sites and communicate with each other. Lets look at the advantages and disadvantages of this method.
First, lets talk about the advantages. Choosing a partner online gives you many options. You can view thousands of profiles from the comfort of your home. You can filter by city, religion, profession, education – everything – to find the right person. Previously, in arranged marriages, relatives would only show a few potential partners, but now you can choose for yourself. This creates a mix of both love marriage and arranged marriage. Parents can also approve profiles after reviewing them. You also get time to talk, so you can get to know each other well. Many people are having happy marriages through this method.
Now lets look at the disadvantages. The biggest problem online is fake profiles. Some people upload old photos or lie about their job and salary. When you meet them, you find out that everything was a lie. This can be heart-breaking. Some people are only there to waste time or scam others for money. There are also safety issues for women. Even after a lot of chatting, the person might turn out to be completely different in real life. Sometimes, family members dont trust the online method. Having too many options can also lead to confusion about who is the right person.
I believe that the online method is good, but it should be used cautiously. Involve your family, dont rush into anything, and do thorough research before meeting someone. Both arranged and love marriages have their merits; online is simply a new way to help in the process. If you find the right person, your marriage will be happy!
