Matchmaking is a way to introduce two people for dating or mating usually for the purpose of marriage. Matchmaking has been a trend in the foreign countries for quite a long time and this trend has spread to almost all the countries of the world. If we talk about India which is a country of religious and trends, matchmaking was considered to be irreligious in early days. Earlier, without the permission of parents children could not marry each other. Parents were responsible for the marriage of their children. But with modernization, the concept has changed a bit over time. The concept of matchmaking has spread to India as well. People are now taking interest in matchmaking activities and websites. This is the reason why several matchmaking websites have been setup for the people of India. Let us look at the different matchmaking websites available on the internet.
