Given that arranged marriages are the de facto way people get married (and it doesn't work quite as well when you're 30+ or trying the second time around) finding a way to connect the once bitten or marriage shy is both a challenge and an opportunity.
One would think the age new mate engines (sites like shaadi.com) would work well but one look at the 30+ profiles and I quickly logged off for a good couple of months (err I might have to go back though).
It's not the websites fault - it's us.
Seems no one in India splits until they were somehow trapped into marrying the nightmare of their dreams. Every second profile screams "Innocent divorcee" almost like it's some kind of desirable educational qualification. Really?? I wonder. Is there anyone out there who could be kinda repentent but better for the experience. I mean to me that sounds much more acceptable, don't you think! "Innocent..." is probably an invention of the same people who brought you descriptions like "wheatish girl, convent educated from respectable family, BA pass... " the first time around. Well the latter I could use to describe myself partially but never would (you know what I mean?)..so"innocent divorcee"...no way (even if you were taken for a ride)
But till then do people like me have much choice but to browse the likes of Shaadi: I mean one can't expect to run into prospects in a bar in Delhi, or does it happen all the time (and I'm the dummy)?
30 + singles / divorcees out there - your comments please!!!
