Single Sikh NRIs Looking for Life Partners
Single Sikh NRIs Looking for Life Partners

Whether you are living in Canada,
USA, Australia or the
UK, finding a life partner
with a similar background can be challenging but not impossible.
Within the Country
Generally most single Sikh NRIs prefer to find a life partner from within their own
country. For example if you live in Canada, then a life partner from Canada is always
preferable for cultural, lifestyle and language reasons as a life partner from a
different country may find it difficult to adapt or may not like the lifestyle or culture in
Canada or language could be a problem.
Small Population of Sikhs
Some countries, such as Singapore, have a small population of Sikhs and therefore
single Sikh NRIs living there only have a very small pool of life partners to choose
from and finding a suitable match may not be so easy. They could look to the
neighbouring countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, etc. The culture
and lifestyle of these countries is similar to Singapore.
Similarly,
single Sikh NRIs living in Canada
can look to the neighbouring USA for life
partners and vice versa as the culture and lifestyle of these two countries is very
similar.
Matrimonial Services Provided by Sikh Gurdwaras
There is a large population of Sikhs living in countries such as Canada, USA and the
UK. The Sikh communities in these countries have built many Gurdwaras not only to
provide a place for worship for the Sikh community but also other services such as
matrimonial services. Single Sikh NRIs register themselves at the Gurdwaras'
matrimonial services in search for life partners.
In the early days, there was a great demand for such matrimonial services at
Gurdwaras. However, in recent years this demand has decreased with the
emergence of matrimonial websites.
National Matrimonial Websites
Nowadays, there are numerous matrimonial websites available where single Sikh
NRIs can register their profiles and search for life partners. If the preference is to find
someone from within their own country then it is more beneficial to register with a
national matrimonial site in that country as this objective can be easily achieved.
International Matrimonial Websites
Not all single Sikh NRIs prefer to marry within their own country. There are those
who want to find the right life partner and are not particular about the country of their
life partner as long as he or she fits their search criteria. For such single Sikh NRIs
there are international matrimonial websites which provide a worldwide platform on
which they can register their profiles and search for potential Sikh life partners
anywhere in the world.
As one can see there are various platforms available for single Sikh NRIs to find a
life partner. The choice of platform depends on their personal preference and
whether they are looking for a life partner from within their own country or further
afield.
