Men looking for women for marriage?
Women looking for men for marriage?
Parents in Trichy start to look for mappillai, just right after the girl completes her graduation or when she is in the final year of her bachelorette. For guys, they don't start looking immediately in Trichy. The guy has to start working and earn before he is eligible to get married.
Parents in Trichy start saving for girl's marriage right after her birth and while she is growing up. For guys, he has to get job and start earning.
In those days, Parents in Trichy just tell the relatives that they are ready for their daughter to get married. Using the relative network, the bride or bridegroom is identified and the two of them get married. Even I remember, relatives pass on the news to my parents saying let us know if there is anybody looking for bride or bridegroom etc.,
Nowadays there are lot of options for searching for bride and bridegroom -
1) There are n number of sites for matrimony, including tamilmatrimony.com, shaadi.com etc.,
2) These days, even caste based websites are available for looking bride or bridegroom.
3) As usual relative and friends network is used for searching.
4) There are physically located offices for different castes, which take broker commission.
5) There are individual marriage brokers available to help with a cheaper commission that corporate companies.
6) There are event planners, who help in this matter.
7) There as astrologers who do this as additional service.
Trichy is still at the level of Matrimonial and people looking for marriage. They have not gone to the level of dating website, which is actually good - from a conservative perspective!
