NEW DELHI, MARCH 17:
While finding a spouse a second time might never have been easy to accomplish, people looking out for partners after having failed to find conjugal bliss in their first now have a reason to smile.
With matrimonial websites finetuning their services to provide personalised assistance to men and women looking to tie the knot yet again, finding partners a second time has just got easier.
Matrimonial websites are now offering their services exclusively to help widows/widowers, single, seperated and divorced individuals wanting to start a second innings anad are getting good response.
"We help people to overcome social, cultural and intra-personal apprehensions and start a new life. Our efforts are to eliminate the taboo associated with second marriage in India," says Ankur Warikoo,managing director secondshaadi.Com, a matrimonial website exclusively developed to help people in getting married for second time.
Revealing that as many as 35,000 people were already registered, Ankur says the website was drawing tremendous response across the country.
Considering the demand and need of the members, the website provides advanced search options that allows its members to search for suitable match using 19 different search criteria, so that the search can be specific, say the promoters.
"We also have counsellors to give personalised service round the clock to our members," Ankur says.
"I was simply doomed after my first marriage ended up. But the website is really a ray of hope for me," said Harinder Singh, a middle-aged businessman from Delhi, who is planning to enter into wedlock the second time.
There are many like Harbinder who are now openly coming up against social and cultural barriers associated with second marriage.
"I have found a suitable match for me through this website. After a lot of counselling and introspection I resolved to revive my life," says Vivek Gohate (name changed) a senior medical transcriptionist.
The rate of divorces in India has gone up alarmingly during the last decades, according to the study posted on a website.
"Be it rich or poor, second marriage in India is always seen with a jaundiced eye. People have different school of thought for those who are single or have parted from their partners.It's very difficult to overcome post-psychological effect of break-off," observes a psychologist.
"Re-marriage in India has always been a topic best left untouched. Through ages, the society has dealt with divorcees, widows and widowers with a different eye. It's time that people overcame it," says Dr Roma Kumar, clinical psychologist with Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.
They must stand tall against social and communal differences. Any efforts to settle or ground such differences in the society would bring positive result among the people, adds Roma.
