IMM 5490 Arranged Marriage

[amit_27]

Hi,

My wife and my marriage is arranged, and we found each other on matrimonial website (shaadi.com).

The form is asking "Did anyone (individual or organization) introduce you to your sponsor?" So, I wrote shaadi.com.

Then, it asks for Relationship to you and Relationship to your sponsor?

Please advise what to enter here.

Thank you

You can just explain that you were both looking for a marriage partner, used that website, and were matched up.
Technically, your marriage was not arranged. Arranged usually means the two families are involved - that the parents of the man and the woman decide their children should get married. If the parents hired a matchmaker, that is also an arranged marriage. But if you two independently went to this website, that is maybe not what CIC means by 'arranged'. Did you correspond with other women as well, and then choose the one you preferred? Did you meet before the wedding day?
