Indian Matrimonial @ ShaadiKaro Matrimonials          

In India, while some people believe that a matrimonial alliance is merely a ‘holy’ knot and is best left on God & fate, others think of a matrimonial alliance as a ‘moral’ & ‘social’ obligation which must be settled within the parameters of one’s family, culture and society. Either ways, while seeking a matrimonial alliance, it’s most significant aspect - the two individuals who are to be bound together in the bond of matrimony - is ignored and considered least significant.

Matrimonial Alliance:
Seeking a suitable Matrimonial Alliance
For nearly 70% of girls and boys in India, the decision of seeking matrimonial alliance or finding a suitable life partner rests entirely with their parents and the tying of the sacred matrimonial knot signifies that their son or daughter has achieved the ultimate status of ‘matrimony’ & hence of being ‘well-settled’ in life!

As soon as an individual in India reaches the marriageable age, preparations begin and parents start searching for a perfect matrimonial alliance or bride/groom for their son/daughter matching their criteria of height, weight, looks, caste, religion, horoscope, occupation, family status, etc. Similarly, the parents & family of the eligible bride or groom also get involved in the endeavour of seeking a matrimonial alliance, which suits their ‘similar’ requirements.

There is no doubt about the fact that the parents, having lived longer, have seen and experienced more about life than their children and hence they definitely have their concerns & opinions about the kind of matrimonial alliance which would keep their son/daughter happy. However, while they can always guide and help their children with their experiences, they should not expect their kids to live a life of their choice; or expect them to tie the matrimonial knot with someone who fits into their image of an ideal ‘bahu’ or ‘damaad’ more than tying a matrimonial knot and fulfilling the requirements of an ideal life partner for them.

Matrimonial Alliance:
The role of Parents & Family
In most Indian families, the ‘sanskaras’ or ‘values’ imbibed in children strictly disallow them from communicating openly about their thoughts & feelings in front of their parents & elderly ones; not the least about issues like love, matrimony, future life partner, etc. As a result, a parents’ perception of their son & daughter is based entirely on what they ‘appear’ to them and not on what they ‘actually are’ or have ‘become’ over the years.

As a matter of fact, despite sharing a bond of love, affection & belongingness with parents, relatives and family, each person tends to grow into a unique & different individual as time goes by, refined by his/her own set of experiences, and so, it is only natural that no one knows better about his/her idea of marriage, dream mate, soul mate, prospective life partner, in other words, the person he/she would be willing to share a matrimonial alliance with, than he/she does himself/herself.

Matrimonial Alliance:
Decision Vs Obligation
When the parents of a girl or a boy start the process of matchmaking & begin seeking a suitable matrimonial alliance for him/her, they do not consider it important to ask his/her views about marriage or ideal match & have little idea as to whether or not their criteria of choosing a bride or groom is in agreement with their son’s/daughter’s expectation of the person he/she would be happy to get married to & spend his/her entire life. Thus, instead of being a matrimonial alliance based on one’s conscious decision, most arranged marriages in India turn out to be a social obligation meant to please parents, family & society. Instead of being based on love, friendship & compatibility, it turns out to be a matrimonial alliance between two strangers who are joined in matrimony by compromises!

Matrimonial Alliance:
Parents’ Perspective
To most parents, the need for ‘compatibility’ in a matrimonial alliance does not hold too much importance. This is because, apart from astrological calculations, there is no sure-shot method available for calculating and matching matrimonial compatibility between two people. As for astrological analysis, it depends on one’s faith in them, as there is no plain logic that tells them that ‘These are the reasons this person is the right match’ for them. The absence of good matrimonial matchmaking tools has forced the parents to live their own lives on compromises. They tend to believe that compromises are essential in every matrimonial alliance and ‘compatibility’ is only a matter of time and will develop on its own, as and when the bride and groom get to know each other. Even most marriage counsellors, try to solve matrimonial problems between incompatible couples by asking them to compromise to make them happier or save their marriage from falling apart.

Matrimonial Alliance:
