Jain matrimony for families
For many Jain families, two things come up first in any proposal: sect, such as Digambar or Shwetambar, and diet. Mafimo lets you state both clearly, search with your whole family, and connect only with verified people.
Diet is not a detail
Many Jain families follow a Jain diet: vegetarian, without root vegetables such as onion, garlic and potato, and sometimes not eating after sunset. In daily married life, these practices matter a great deal, so it helps to be specific rather than simply writing “vegetarian”.
Sect and tradition
Families often mention:
- Sect: Digambar or Shwetambar, and a tradition within it such as Sthanakvasi or Terapanthi, if the family wishes.
- Gotra, which some Jain communities consider.
- Native place and family business or profession.
- Whether horoscopes are part of the family’s process.
Marriage and the law
Jain marriages in India are governed by the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, which applies to Jains as well as Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs. Registering the marriage gives the couple an official certificate.
