Man Files Case Against Matrimony Site After Not Finding Bride, Received Rs 25000 as Compensation

A consumer court in Kerala's Ernakulam recently directed Kerala Matrimony to pay Rs 25,000 in compensation to a man who alleged that the match-making portal failed to find him a bride. The court observed that the man was one of several victims of the platform. Additionally, the matrimonial website must refund the Rs 4,100 fee they charged him, along with Rs 3,000 as litigation costs.

The case arose when the man registered on Kerala Matrimony's website in 2018, paying a subscription fee for three months. Despite his payment, the website allegedly failed to provide the promised services, leading to the court's ruling.

District forum chairman DB Binu and other members Ramachandran V and Srividya TN passed the order on May 15 after concluding that there was deficiency in service on the part of Kerala Matrimony.

According to Bar and Bench, the forum said that the complainant was one of the many 'victims' of the matrimonial website and public opinion from social media was also collected by the complainant to strengthen her case.

The forum said, 'The opposition party made attractive statements to attract the attention of the life partner seekers and did not provide the required services. It has not presented any evidence to prove that it has provided the services promised to the complainant."

In the past too, users have reported encountering fake profiles on matrimony sites. These profiles may be created by scammers or individuals with malicious intent. It's essential for users to verify the authenticity of profiles before engaging in conversations. In some cases, users have found that the information provided in profiles (such as education, occupation, or family background) doesn't match reality. Misrepresentation can lead to disappointment and frustration.

Now, A Dedicated Matrimony Platform Just for Doctors

Doctors looking to find their life partners from their own profession need to look no further as there is finally a dedicated matrimony portal that will help them find their life partners from their fields!

After establishing its presence as the largest dedicated medical newsportal in India having a readership of more than 1.5 million per month, Medical Dialogues (www.medicaldialogues.in) brings a dedicated matrimonial classified service- Medical Matrimony (https://medicalmatrimony.in) only for medical professionals.

Medical matrimony is a one-stop platform for doctors and allied medical professionals to find their life partners from within their profession. The platform comes in response to a general trend in the Indian medical profession, where doctors prefer to marry other doctors only.

Speaking about the need for such a platform, Founder of Medical Dialogues & Medical Matrimony. Meghna A Singhania said, “Medical Profession is one of the most arduous profession and in this journey of committing to the profession, doctors in our country tend to enter the marital bliss late in their lives as compared to their peers. Further, owing to their laborious schedule and long working hours they tend to give their personal lives a back seat and hence for a successful marriage it is very important to be with someone who understands the demands of the profession. This is the reason most doctors prefer to marry within their profession.”

The Service has instant been a hit with the medical practitioners in the country, with more than 1000+ profiles within three months of its initiation in January 2019.

Co-Founder Dr Prem Aggarwal added, "We are happy to such a positive response ever since we launched this service. We are getting registrations from all over the country, even abroad with doctors using our platform to find their life partners."
