Marriage websites, or online matrimonial sites, are a variation of the standard dating websites, with a focus on those wanting marriage rather than simply dating. Typically, matrimonial sites are used by people who prefer arranged marriage over love marriage. The term planned marriage has been used to describe marriages originating through matrimonial websites.

Matrimonial sites are specially popular in India and among Indians settled overseas. Young men and women in India generally do not feel any compulsion to date since dating has not been a part of the culture historically. In the west, the phonemonon termed “love” is considered a prerequisite for marriage. In India, however “love” is often taken to be the total mutual dedication that comes after marriage.

Matrimonial sites register users, after which they are able to upload their profile onto a searchable database maintained by the website. Those users looking to find suitors can search the database with customized searches that typically include nationality, age, gender, availability of photograph and often religion, geographic location and caste (mainly for websites based in India).  Find out more at Wikipedia >>>

Mail-order bride is a label applied to a woman who publishes her intent to marry someone from another — usually more financially developed — country. This label is considered offensive by some definitions.

Historically, mail-order brides were women who listed themselves in catalogs and were selected by men for marriage. Sometimes the men and women involved were citizens of different countries, e.g. women from European countries moving to the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries, and sometimes they involved citizens of the same country.

Mail-order brides traditionally hail from developing countries. The great majority of these women are from Southeast Asia including the Philippines, countries of the former Soviet Union, and to a lesser extent from Latin America. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, large numbers of eastern European women advertised themselves in such a way; primarily being from Russia, Romania, Ukraine and Moldova. In the past, international marriage agencies such as Cherry Blossoms allowed women to sign up to be listed in picture magazines; now the Internet has largely supplanted this method. Men who list themselves in such publications may be referred to as mail-order husbands. Nations that often receive mail-order brides are the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Germany, and Australia.  Find out more at Wikipedia >>>

With specific niches of the Internet catering to more and more different groups, it would only be a matter of time before somebody would come up with the concept of and eventually create a Muslim dating site. These, simply put, are websites where Muslims can put their photos and personal details up. This information will be available to other people, who can choose to communicate with and meet them. If all goes well, they may even get married.

Not all is perfect with these websites, though. As with almost anything on the Internet nowadays, there will be a bad side to these types of sites, usually in the form of users with malicious intent. For one thing, some people may register to a Muslim dating site with false personal information, just for the sheer prank value of it. This is perhaps the most difficult mishap to manage for website administrators, as they have to look through the validity of thousands of user profiles, one by one, and even then they are not sure with some of their members’ details. Add to this the fact that every day, more and more people are being added to the database of a Muslim dating site, a consequence of having more and more people being able to connect to the Internet from the more remote areas of the world.
