Research has been conducted on several matrimonial sites by a team of researchers at the University of Michigan in the USA. The motive of the research was to find, what roles are matrimonial sites playing to bring people closer from different castes and race. According to the researchers, Asian countries such as India and Bangladesh are showing great interest in matrimonial websites. Hence the rate of intercaste marriages through matrimonial websites is also increasing in these countries. But Asians who live in US countries are less open to intercaste marriages.

The researchers from the University of Michigan analyzed the data of 313,000 profiles on different matrimonial sites. Most of the profiles have shifted an attitude towards intercaste marriage. But some people who have lower economic status, hesitate to go for intercaste marriage. Since a long time ago, marriage was based on education, race, horoscope, and physical characteristics. But the matrimonial websites such as getmemarry.com is becoming a connecting medium for people from different castes, regions, and races.

Ashwin Rajadesingan, a researcher from the University of Michigan said, “Despite a lot of effort from the government and social groups, caste remains an important part of people’s lives, this caste question is actually on the first page on their questionnaire which really emphasizes how important some people consider it, People on the site are looking to get married, so their response is a great way to get their honest opinion.”

The researchers have also found that the government policies and social movements of the Asian countries are helping to lower the caste attitude in people. The research has not violated the privacy of the people, and their details have not been shared in public.
