Slowdown hits NRI groom market

It is a very uncertain economy and people now a days trying different things to get out much of the recession hit economy. This is the case with Groom Markets also. Earlier, a well-settled non-resident Indian groom is what many Indian parents aspire for their daughter. But now the demand for NRI grooms has fallen by almost 20 percent and, with the economic slump hitting the private sector badly, people are once again looking out for 'stable' government employees.

There has been a dip in the response for NRI grooms post-the slowdown and the demand has fallen by almost 20 percent than before. People now are not really that willing for NRI grooms because of the job uncertainty factor,' Murugavel Janakiraman, founder and chief executive of Consim Info Pvt Ltd, formerly known as BharatMatrimony group, told IANS over phone from Chennai.

If this trend continues, the demand may fall further making it difficult for NRI's to find a suitable bride for them and they might have to go for other religion marriages.
