FORBES - Apr 2 - In India, marriage sites list details such as blood type, exact day and minute of birth, photos, annual income, HIV status and more. The person sharing all this intimate data is often not the prospective bride or groom. At Shaadi.com, ~30% of the 30M listings come from siblings and parents. Some Indian sites do not even require creating a profile before accessing details about others.
BharatMatrimony.com and Jeevsansathi.com are competing matrimonials services to Shaadi. They're more serious than the most serious of Western dating sites, eHarmony and Parship. They also enjoy considerable diaspora business.
