A Parent's Role in
Modern Matchmaking.

In the Dewangan community, marriage has always been a union of two families, not just two individuals. While the digital age has changed *how* we find matches, the *role* of parents remains as vital as ever.

1. The Supportive Consultant

Today's youth value their independence, but they also deeply value their parents' wisdom. Instead of making the decision *for* them, aim to be their most trusted consultant. Share your observations about a family's reputation and values, but allow your child to discover the personal compatibility themselves.

2. Respecting the "Digital Mandap"

Platform like Sangi Sathi allow parents to manage or co-manage profiles. If you are managing your child's profile, be transparent about it. When initiating contact (Saga-Neti), maintain the same formal respect you would in a traditional home visit.

"The best matches happen when parents provide the foundation of trust, and the children build the house of love."

3. Patience is the Greatest Weaver

Just as weaving a fine Kosa silk saree takes time, finding the perfect match requires patience. Don't rush the process. Use the platform's filters to find genuine compatibility rather than just meeting the basic criteria.
