Cyber Marriages


An issue that has puzzled me for a long time, how can two strangers get married online? Why would they want to engage in such activities? From the article, some did it for fun and to some others. this was a way of tying knots due to separation, being under-aged or homosexual. However, could it be due to this group of people being unable to find acceptance in real world, due to physical characteristics or other reasons, that they could only find self acceptance online?


I feel that for those seeking fun, trying to tie knots due to separation or homosexuality are just wasting their time. As mentioned in the article, ‘a cyber marriage in a cyber chapel is ‘not a legal marriage’. Cyber marriages will not firmly hold the relationship of both parties. For those who feel that they can find acceptance online, it is only a temporary solution. In the long run, one will still have to pick up his/her courage to face the real world.
