Bangladesh is a South Asian country neighboring India and Myanmar. With a population of 160 million people, it is the 8th most populous country in the world. Around 90% of its population adheres to Islam, with Hinduism being the main minority religion at 8.9%. 

The country is experiencing a youth bulge with 50% of its population lying within the bracket of 18-40. Thus, there is a large pool of youths who are within marriageable age. Traditionally, Bangladeshi society was built around joint families. The family elders would choose potential spouses from within the community or extended family. Afterward, courtship would take place under their observation.

However, rapid urbanization over the past 20 years has made this arrangement increasingly untenable. Traditional communities and joint families have collapsed as people have migrated en masse to the cities. It has led to the creation of atomized individuals and lonely nuclear families.

This social upheaval, combined with the highly demanding nature of modern work, has left many youths without the time or connections to search for a proper mate. Thus, a digital alternative to age-old methods of courtship has developed over the past few years.

Multiple marriage media have appeared in the past two decades, and online matchmaking services have taken off. Here, we will discuss several such marriage media in Bangladesh.
