Arranged marriages conducted mostly or entirely over video calls have become common among NRI families, especially when the two families live in different countries and cannot easily travel for an in-person first meeting.
Where kundli matching fits in the process
Many families run kundli matching before the first video call, as a filter alongside photos and biodata. A poor match on paper sometimes ends the conversation before either side invests time; a good match gives both families a reason to move forward with introductions.
What still needs an in-person or video conversation
Kundli matching covers guna milan and doshas, it says nothing about personality, communication style, career compatibility or shared expectations about where to live. Those only surface through actual conversation, whether in person or over video.
A practical order
- Exchange birth details and run the kundli matching tool
- If the report looks reasonable, move to video introductions between the two people
- Only after both agree the conversation went well should families discuss muhurat and wedding planning
