Here are shortcomings of various matrimonial services available to candidates and parents:

Social Media

This includes WhatsApp, Facebook etc. These have limited privacy. This effort is mostly parent driven. Another challenge of social media is that matchmakers from outside the country may get hold of information and then spread out information in any way they want.

Marriage Bureaus

These are also called matchmakers. In North America, most of these bureaus are individually run. Their drawback is that most of them don’t have a large number of candidates. Another issue is that they are usually ethnically oriented and do not cater to all Muslims.

Organizations

Some Islamic organizations have started matrimonial services. However it’s not a well thought out process. Based upon feedback from friends and families, there is no sifting process to pair suitable candidates.
