Marriages don’t need to be made in heaven—effectively dovetailing profiles of denizens with marriage hopefuls in their countries of origin on matrimonial internet sites

Abstract

Governments of the day should be aware that significant money making its way into the country from abroad, arising from marriage alliances conspired over cyber marital sites, are influenced by the attractiveness that the county offers for a place to have a permanent family home. Governments therefore should incentivise such movement of money inward instead of taxing it to avoid inflationary pressures. It is useful for Governments to get an understanding of how the dynamics of marital social networks sites work in order to develop a positive attitude to newly married couples bringing in fresh capital into the country. This paper presents the typology of suitors’ perceptions of denizens who are prospecting wedlock or a long term alliance from suitors in their Country-of-origin (CoO). The typology maps the interaction of middle class and working class suitors’ perceptions of the denizen’s adopted country, denizen’s network and the denizen’s posturing on the dimension of denizen’s professional or mainstream status. Denizens prospecting suitors from their CoO, when profiling themselves, need to identify the relevant social class segment in the typology with whom they have the best chance of engaging and highlight those traits that suitors in that sector are expecting. In other words, suitors belonging to particular social divisions in the denizens’ mother country will feel so much better reassured of their marital options if they are able to find matching traits of their prince or princess charming.
