ECONOMIC TIMES - Oct 12 - Yahoo has sold its stake in the company that owns the online matchmaking portal bharatmatrimony.com, valuing it at $190M. BharatMatrimony, which makes its money through subscriptions, competes with shaadi.com, jeevansathi.com and simplymarry.com, which is owned by the Times Group.
Definitely outside of Yahoo's core focus now. Yahoo offloaded its dating products to Match and is now partnered with them for idating in North America and in a good portion of Europe.

Yahoo offloads everything non-core in order to keep the main business alive.
