Indian matrimony in the UK
Many British Indian families have relatives in both the UK and India, and a match often involves both. Mafimo lets family members in either country review the same profiles, and you can state citizenship or visa status clearly from the start.
Born in the UK, or moved for work?
The UK has long-established British Indian families as well as people who moved recently for study or work. Expectations can differ: a British-born person may hope to stay in the UK, while a newer arrival may be open to returning to India. Saying which applies to you on your profile makes every conversation easier.
Status and paperwork
Families will want to know whether you are a British citizen, have settled status or indefinite leave to remain, or hold a work or student visa. For a spouse moving to the UK, visa rules and financial requirements apply, so it is sensible to check the current rules early rather than assume.
- State your status in one line on your profile.
- Check current UK spouse-visa requirements before making promises.
- Keep your family in India informed, since they often meet the other family first.
Time difference
India is 5.5 hours ahead of the UK in winter and 4.5 hours ahead during British Summer Time. UK mornings line up with Indian afternoons, so weekend mornings in the UK work well for calls with families in India.
