Caught between his traditional family and his Californain lifestyle, Tariq Ahmed found the perfect way to arrange his own marriage – by finding a wife on the Web. Along with thousands of other young Asians, the 27-year-old Silicon Valley computer expert turned to the growing number of Internet sites dedicated to finding a suitable husband and wife.
Born in London to a Pakistani father and an Australian mother, Mr. Ahmed,a designer of Web pages, had little difficulty producing his own site. He admits that, like all his Pakistani friends in the U.S.A., he had to do something about his love life. “My dad has become extremely conservative over the years, and he just wanted me to marry a Pakistani girl,” he said.
She turned out to be 26-year-old Julianna Gidwani. She saw his advertisement on the Matrimonial Link. They married last year near her home. The wedding pictures, of course, were immediately posted on the Web.
"The Internet isn't ideal because you have to use e-mail and when you are talking in text you are only gatting a bit of information ." Ahmed added that emails can't show two people whether there is chemistry between them. Luckily,he and his bride discovered they did have chemistry after they spent some time getting to know each other.
Speed and control are what is important in e-mail relationships. Websites and e-mail addresses allow people to choose the level of anonymity they wish to keep.They also can swlsct people who live far away
