A guide for families
Family-Assisted Sri Lankan Matrimony
In many Sri Lankan families, parents, siblings and trusted relatives help introduce prospective partners. Their support can be valuable when the person seeking marriage stays in control of their own choices.
Start with consent
Before sharing someone's name, photographs, background or contact details, ask for their informed permission. Discuss what may be visible to others and respect their decision if they change their mind.
Discuss what matters
Talk openly about location, language, career, family expectations and future plans. Avoid assuming that everyone in a Tamil, Sinhala or other Sri Lankan community wants the same things.
Keep introductions safe
Do not send money to someone you have only met online. Verify identities, protect sensitive information and give both people space to make their own decisions.
Read the safety guidanceFrequently asked questions
Can my family help me search for a partner?
Family members can offer advice and support, but the person seeking marriage should decide what information is shared and whom to contact.
Should a relative create a profile without asking?
No. Get clear permission from the adult whose details or photographs would be used. Never impersonate them or share their private information without consent.
Can parents decide whom someone must marry?
No. A matrimonial introduction is not consent to marriage. Both people must be free to decide whether to continue a conversation or relationship.
