In this new age, everything, from buying apparels to sending money from one to another, can be done online. And so is matrimonial search. However, a family is vulnerable to risk of facing fraudulent entities even during an online matrimonial search.

Recently, the District Crime Branch police have arrested two young men for cheating women through online matrimonial portals with the promise of marrying them. Chakravarthy, a 27-year-old male, and Perumal, a 22-year-old young lad and relative to Chakravarthy, were caught post a compliant filed by Madurai based victim.

Investigation has revealed that the main accused, Chakravarthy, already holds a track record of cheating 17 girls. Thus number also includes the women living outside India, like Mauritius and few countries in the Middle East. Almost all the victims have been found to be well educated. They are also found to be working as nurses, IT professionals and college professors.

These young men had been following a modus operandi which started with establishing a contact with the victim as a prospective bridegroom. After befriending the girls through social ...
... networking chats and the mobile. They would also talk to them as parents by changing their voice to add more credibility. After gaining confidence, these men would demand money. Once received, the men would break all connection with these girls and then move on to carve out new profiles for themselves for attracting other victims.

Looking at this, household may turn to matrimonial investigation, as always. However, matrimonial investigation suffers from few critical setbacks. The investigation is an unstructured way of attaining information from any source possible. In other words, it is without any process. This fact in itself removes credibility from marriage partner investigation manifolds. And with the realization that the investigation report can be a faulty one, the credibility of this tool diminishes further. The report can get faulty as it investigation is carried out stealthily and therefore no one can go back and confirm any part of the outcome from anyone. And a decision based on faulty outcome would definitely make the decision a faulty one.

Marriage partner verification, on the other hand, is a tool which is carried through legal means. The verification is a structure one with a proper process cut out for it. The structure process ensures that the information is extracted from the legal sources. With all the legal and valid information, the verification report is also a credible one.

Verifying the prospective marriage partner is a good way to combat such risks. Residential addresses, business addresses, employer address, educational background, passport number, SSN number, are just few of the aspect that can be looked into and given information about which can be validated. Running of one’s records through negative databases, criminal databases will clear the doubts as to the existence of any desirable point in his/her past.

The matrimonial verification will ensure that the pre-emptive step does what is it meant for- mitigate the possibility of damages.
