Click to find your ideal match

New Delhi: Almost a year after she put up her profile on a matrimonial site, Monica Bhatia found her soulmate in bank manager Anuj Narula. They tied the knot in May this year and though the search process was at times frustrating, Monica still believes that putting her profile up on the Internet was a very smart move

"It's your life and you should marry someone who is up to your expectations, someone who is good enough for you. On the Internet, you can see a lot of profiles and shortlist the best," says she.

According to the Internet and Mobile Association of India, membership of online matrimonial sites will grow to an estimated 7 million users by the end of the year.

However, if finding your mate online isn't good enough, and you want to go the whole hog, get married online.

One can exchange vows at a cyber wedding chapel where you can have the wedding of your dreams. They aren't legal but you can invite as many people as you want and not break the bank.

And if marriages are made online it's no surprise that divorce follows hot on its heels.

This September an Indian couple formalised their divorce in the first online divorce hearing in Delhi.

Says the husband's lawyer, Sanjay Gupta, "The wife went to the US on account of her job and was not in a position to come back. So a set up was made in the Karkadooma court via webcam and the Internet was used to complete the divorce proceedings."

So people can now get married online and even divorced online. For these virtual husbands and wives, cyberspace is the best possible witness.
