Bangladesh is a South Asian country located in the Indian subcontinent.  It boasts a population of over 160 million people and is currently experiencing a youth bulge. About 92% of the population adheres to Islam which stresses heavily on marriage and family. Thus the country today possesses a very large pool of marriageable men and women.

Traditionally, marriages in Bangladesh were arranged by family elders within the community. Matches were made within the community or extended family, and courtship was undertaken in the presence of an elder. 

However, rapid urbanization has transformed the country over the past two decades. It has caused mass labor migration to the cities, and a break up of traditional communities. This upheaval combined with long and demanding work hours has left many youths incapable of choosing mates in this traditional setting.

A solution to this problem has come in the form of marriage media. Online matchmaking services have existed in Bangladesh for nearly 20 years, and have enjoyed relative success. They allow individuals to seek out potential mates from within a diverse coterie of profiles and find a suitable life mate.

In this article, we will take a look at some prominent marriage media in the country.

Conclusion

These developments have necessitated the creation of marriage media in a country where the old model of courtship has become untenable.
