Chavara Matrimony is one such matrimony site that has written the success story of making arranged marriages possible on the internet. As India’s largest matrimony site for the Christian community, Chavara recently crossed the 1.5 lakh mark of successful marriages online.

A dream seeded 25 years ago

The matrimony site was established in 1996, two and half decades ago, to unify the holy bond of matrimony. The matrimonial service was started in the name of Chavara Family Welfare Center along with the assistance of Rev. Fr. Job Myladiyil CMI as the Director.

Speaking about the journey of 26 years in uniting Christian families, Mr. Johnson C Abraham, the Executive Director, reminisces, “We are glad to have come a long way in our journey envisaged by St. Chavara. During the starting years when online matrimony was novel to India, dealing with the apprehension of people in sharing their photos was a big task. Today, the site has crossed the mark of 1.5 lakh marriages through its online portal.

Covered by a leading newspaper

Chavara Matrimony faced a lot of criticism in the beginning, from being called brokers to Parish Priest turned Matchmaker. However, the mold was broken in 2012 when NDTV covered the story of Chavara Matrimony, facilitating platforms for Christian brides and grooms to find their soul mates. In addition, they were also covered by a leading North Indian Hindi Newspaper that applauded them for their noble venture of uniting youth in the holy bond of matrimony.

Defining the motivation for starting an online portal for arranged marriages, Mr. Johnson explained, “Many families still follow arranged marriages. In addition, I am a believer of the arranged marriage system and trust the union fixed by families through mutual consent and blessings of the Lord being equally fruitful in blooming love between the couples after the wedding.”
