Normally marriage is also categorized in two types:

1) Arranged Marriage

2) Love Marriage.

Arranged marriage: is one such common custom handed down over generations. Arranged marriage has played an important role in Indian marriages. This concept is even today accepted by millions of Indians in India and abroad. Marriages, initiated by elders, were arranged with the help of an ‘aunt’ or the ‘priest’. Over a period of time this has slowly transitioned from the marriage brokers to the newspapers and now onto the Internet.

Love Marriage: is a union of two parties based upon affection and a mutual attraction between the individuals. The term opposite to arranged marriage and forced marriage especially in India and some other countries near it. Somewhere it is also known as or defined as self-arranged marriages.

In love marriage you yourself select your partner as the above definition says, it’s a union of two parties based upon affection and mutual attraction. But in arrange marriage how you or your parents select your partner?

* Either by marriage agents?

* By marriage bureaus?

* Suggestion by relatives?

* By advertise in a local society? Like geeta bhavan or any other.

* By advertising in news paper?

* Or online through a matrimony site?

The use of internet is also increasing in this area also. Internet has revolutionized the way people communicate. Today, there are several india matrimonial sites some aimed to a particular community/religion and some to the general public. These sites literally make the world seem a smaller place.

The concept of online matrimonial has become increasingly popular because it gives people up-front, at the click of a mouse, access to thousands of eligible singles, which neither newspapers nor marriage bureaus can ever offer.
