BBC Radio 4 - Love at First Site

Sarfraz Manzoor explores the world of matrimonial websites aimed at the Asian diaspora.

Arranged marriages may have traditionally been a part of Asian culture, but these days who is doing the arranging? Sarfraz Manzoor examines the market for Asian marriage websites.

At 11 we join young British Asians in the marriage market. It used to be simple - if you were Asian, all you had to do is wait for your parents to sort it out. But today many of the younger generation want to choose their partners for themselves, and they are turning to the internet and marriage websites for help. Follow their stories in 'Love at First Site', with Sarfraz Manzoor, at 11.
