'The guy in question is our adorable father with a young heart'

Company Brief

New Delhi, October 26, 2010

"This ain't for a woman but for a mother who is the center of my universe… A graduate, a home maker and a committed person is less to define her as a person. Having to raise two young kids has not been an easy battle for my mother....... A compassionate person, with an air of sophistication and gentlemanly attitude who would compliment her nature and yet maintain his place in the relation is the best suited match."

This is one of the many profiles that have been posted by children who are looking for companions for their single parents. A study by Jeevansathi.com, India's fastest growing matrimonial site shows that there are a considerable number of youngsters, who post profiles of their single parents to help them find a life partner. Interestingly, all these kids want their parents to find a companion with whom they can spend the rest of their lives comfortably. This trend clearly reflects a paradigm shift in the thinking of the society.

"Due to the social taboo of second marriages most single parents end up leading a lonely life," said Rohit Manghnani, Business Head, Jeevansathi.com. Adding further, "However, it is interesting to note that children are now convincing their parents for re-marriage so that they have a secure future. This shows that the relationship between kids and parents is becoming more open. Children are no longer averse to discussing sensitive issues such as their own parents' remarriage".

The details of the posted profiles show that most children are keen to get their single parents settled because they have seen them struggling all through their lives, taking care of daily chores and their children's upbringing all alone. A youngster who has posted the profile of his father says "Since the demise of our mother about 24 yrs back, our dad has been our constant unconditional support. What we are today is all because of him. He had struggled a lot and now we wish that our father should enjoy the fruits of life".

Similarly, a 23 year old daughter writes about how after 20 years she would love to fill the void of a husbands place in her mother's life. This clearly shows that children grow up and understand their parent's need for companionship and hence want them to settle down.
