Pictures Lifted From Matrimonial Website Used For IPO Scam

Over the past few years many Matrimonial (aka dating sites in the west) sites have cropped up. These site promise to find the best mate you can ever find, for you. For those of you who are from the west, should know that arranged marriage is a common thing in some Asian countries and many a times marriages are arranged without the bride and the groom having even seen each other. It is a trend in these countries for the parents to look for a suitable bride or groom for their grown up sons and daughters. With the growing trend of Matrimonial sites cropping up by the hundreds all over the web, it is an easy place for parents to look for a suitable match.

Unfortunately, it is also an easy place for scammers to lift your picture and other basic details to be used for unauthorized purposes. This is exactly what happened in India, when some scammers lifted some pictures and some basic information from a very popular Matrimonial site called shaadi.com and used the information to subscribe to upcoming IPOs (Initial Public Offer). The CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) chargesheeted 22 people including bank employees for running the scam. As per CBI one persons picture was used to create as many as 15 accounts under different names.

Lesson Learnt: Be careful when posting your picture online on any dating or matrimonial site. If you must post a picture, make sure it is small, taken from far off and preferably a side pose.

Most established matrimony websites allow you to post a picture portfolio. A picture is certainly worth a thousand words. However, it is a good idea not to go overboard with your picture uploads. Be conservative and submit additional photographs directly only when there is a serious inquiry worthy of follow up. We do not recommend video uploads since videos are for weddings.

This type of concept is different for choosing own type of bride and groom. I also use matrimonial sites for choosing own marriage partner. This is best way.

Brahmin Shaadi
Historically, the Brahmins in india were divided into two major groups based on geographical origin of the people. The Brahmin groups that lived to the north of the vindhyas were referred to as Dravida Brahmins. Each group was further divided into five sections according to the regions of their settlement.

Sagaai
The Sagaai or the engagement ceremony symbolises commitment However, the South Indian Brahmin do not lay stress on the presence of bride and the groom in their Sagaai, rather it focuses on commitment between the parents of the groom and the bride. 'Latto' i.e., 'engagement plate' Which consist of coconut, flowers, turmeric, betel leaves and betel nuts hold more importance, in their engagement ceremony. The Maithil Brahmin bride of bihar makes her wedding affair stand apart by receiving the blessing from the Dhobi's (washerman's) wife - a compulsory tradition in the Bihari Brahmin wedding.

Haldi
In Haldi ceremony turmeric powder is mixed with milk, almond oil and sandalwood and applied to the bride and the groom. In Kashmiri Pandit this ceremony has a twist becuase cold, white yoghurt is poured on the bride as an alternative to haldi. ritual is followed by a special custom called Shankha (shell) Paula (coral) in bengali Brahmins, where seven married women embellish the bride's hand with red and white bangles, the shell is supposed to calm the bride and the coral is believed to
be beneficial for health. Mehndi is also applied on every bride's hands during the Mehndi ceremony. However, a Bengali Brahmin bride applies alta (red dye).

Jaimala
After the ceremonious arrival of the groom, the garlands are exchanged between the groom and the bride, while the priests chant mantras. Jaimala is the symbol of unifying two souls into one. But in tamil nadu, "Oonjal", a unique jaimala ceremony is performed and could be best decribed as a tug of war. In this ceremony, the women sing songs to encourage the bride and groom to exchange the garlands while the uncles persuade the soon to be couple not to Exchange the garlands.Before the ceremony of jaimala, the bride makes a majestic entry in Bengali weddings.

Mangal Phere
Fire is considered the most pious element in the Brahmin weddings and seven circles around that fire holds the seven promises that the nuptial couple make to each other amidst the Vedic mantras. The Brahmin wedding is deemed incomplete without the seven rounds around the sacred fire. Unlike other Brahmin weddings, in Gujarati weddings only four pheras are taken which are called the mangalpheras where the pheras represent four basic human goals of Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Miksha (religious, moral, prosperity and salvation). Likewise in Malayalee Brahmin weddings, pheras are taken only thrice.

Post wedding ceremony vidaai
After pheras, the bride's family and friend bid her teary vidaai (farewell). The Kashmiri pundits make their vidaai even more special. their charming ritual, "roth khabar" is performed on a saturday or tuesday after the wedding. In Roth
khabar, the bride's parents send a roth (bread decorated with nuts) to their son - in - law's family. But the bride accompanies She stay with her parents and returns only when someone from in laws comes to fetch her back.

Griha pravesh
The new bride is greeted by her mother - in - law with Arti and tilak. The bride, who is regarded as the Goddess laxmi, enters the groom's house after the groom's house after kicking rice - filled pot. In Kannada Brahmin marriages, the groom changes the name of his wife in the name change ceremony where he decides a name for his wife and inscribes it on a plate containing rice with a ring. In Bihar, a very strange ritual is performs at the groom's place.
