Matrimonial Advertisements and Mental Trauma

I would like to share my thoughts through this column in Islamic Voice that many of the matrimonial advertisements published in many mainstream newspapers today cannot be believed or trusted. My own personal experience after getting into a marriage alliance through an advertisement published in the “so called today’s most popular mainstream newspaper” ended in a divorce, causing me lot of trauma. Most of the claims made by the bride’s family and even the groom’s family are nothing, but a bunch of lies. So I request all, to be very careful while getting into alliances through advertisements in matrimonial columns. Do a thorough check of the claims made in the ad.
