The person's family never comes on calls. Is that a warning sign?
Yes, on a matrimonial site it is. Family involvement is normal and expected, so a match who keeps their parents, siblings and relatives out of every call for weeks is hiding something: a marriage, a different background, or the fact that the profile is fake.
Common excuses: parents are old and do not use video, the family is abroad, there is a "family dispute", or "let us decide first and then involve them". Any one of these can be true once; all of them, every time, is a pattern.
What to do
- Ask for a specific family member – a parent, a sibling, an uncle – and a specific time for a video call.
- Ask for the name of one relative in India you can meet in person.
- Notice whether the person talks about family naturally or avoids the subject.
- Slow everything down until the family has been on at least one call.
Frequently asked questions
- What if the person really has no family?
- Then they will say so clearly, and a friend or colleague can take that place. The problem is not the absence of family – it is the excuses.
