Second Time Around: Hyderabad’s Second Marriage Agency
I often wonder what it must be like to marry for a second time. Having spoken to close friends who have endured the sadness of separation or bereavement, it seems starting again has a whole new set of challenges. By second marriage, I mean second time around, rather than multiple marriage…
Been There, Done That…
Second time marriage can be particularly challenging for us Muslims, and more so for us Muslim women. I join many others in the belief that life sometimes takes unexpected paths and leads us to unforeseen places, and that we’re all entitled to a second chance.
I’ve noticed a couple of second marriage agencies springing up in Muslim countries or those with a large Muslim population. One of these is India. In Hyderabad, India’s fast paced, modern “City of Pearls”, 2nd Vivah is a new marriage agency specifically dedicated to those who are marrying for the second time.
A Second Wind
“Life is Beautiful” is the enticing motto of Hyderabad-based Second Vivah, which is run by couples who have had successul second marriages and offers second timers all over India another shot at love and happiness.
The agenct offers a platform for those who may have children from a previous relationship, and support to couples who face challenges from ex-partners, and parents via its blog. This sentiment is echoed from the outset on the agency’s website:
“A second marriage is a second chance. It’s a second chance at happiness, a second chance for your hopes and dreams and, for many people, a second chance to get it right. …2ndvivah.com, provides a sincere support platform for those looking to go for a second marriage.”
Here We Go Again
Second Vivah is open to Indians from Hyderbad to Delhi, Calcutta to Mumbai, and extends its cyber matchmaking arms to Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Jains, Sikhs and more.
For a registration is free and enables users to begin browsing profiles. Consulting the blog is free, and it offers helpful tips on topics such as Keys to Communication. To go a step further, users can become Platinum members (360 days) for Rs. 1500 or Diamond members (180 days) for Rs 1000.
Still in its infancy, Second Vivah was launched this month, but I’m already looking forward to hearing more of and from this interesting Hyderabad agency.
