Buddhist matrimony for families
Buddhist families in India include communities in Maharashtra, the Himalayan regions, the North-East and many cities, with different traditions and languages. Mafimo lets each family share what matters to them, search together, and connect only with verified people.
Different traditions, shared values
Buddhism in India is practised in many ways, from the traditions of Ladakh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh to the large Buddhist community of Maharashtra, much of which follows the path of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. Families often look for a partner who shares their practice, language and values.
What families often share
Every detail is optional, but proposals commonly mention:
- Tradition and practice, described in the family’s own words.
- Language and home region.
- Education, work and family background.
- Openness to a partner from another faith, if any.
Marriage and the law
Buddhist marriages in India are governed by the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, which applies to Buddhists, and couples can also choose to marry under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. Registering the marriage gives an official certificate.
