6 reasons why matrimonial websites are better than traditional ads

Traditionally, Indian marriages were always arranged as we Indians believe that not only the Indian bride and groom but the families too are united for life. Families and friends scout for prospective brides and grooms within their family/friends’ circle and social acquaintances. Criteria such as caste, community, education, financial stability, values, culture, compatibility, status, etc. are also kept in mind during the bride/groom hunt process to ensure the best compatibility between the bride, the groom and their respective families. Matrimonial ads in papers and marriage bureaus were quite popular to seek prospects as per the criteria.
