Marriage Spies In India Are Being Hired For Background Checks On Prospective Partners

Wedding season is India is all about lavish parties, various ceremonies and diverse traditions. Before actually proceeding to holy matrimony, the first step is to look for a suitable bride or groom for one’s son or daughter. It’s certainly not easy to trust a stranger and their family when it comes to one’s own child. What if we told you that there was a new emerging business of matrimonial detectives that is making a buzz? Surprised, right? Bhavna Paliwal from New Delhi is working as a matrimonial detective from an anonymous office. Instead of going to the priest and choosing marriage dates, people are hiring Bhavna’s marriage detective agency to do a thorough background run on their selected partner.

As bizarre as it sounds, it has been successfully working for some. In a conversation with Daily Journal, an office worker named Sheela said that when her daughter announced she wanted to marry her boyfriend, she immediately hired Bhavna. “I had a bad marriage; when my daughter said she was in love, I wanted to support her but not without proper checks.”

Bhavna Paliwal founded her company, Tejas Detective Agency more than two decades ago and says that the business is better than ever. She revealed how her team handles around eight cases monthly. Talking about the success of her business, she recalled one of the cases where a client checked her prospective husband, and she discovered that the man said he earned around $70,700 annually, but actually he was making $7,070”.
