8 Reasons You Need a Pre Matrimonial Investigation before Marriage

Indian Cricket team pacer Mohammed Shami married off in a rush to an IPL cheerleader, Hasin Jahan. In 2018, a personal controversy broke out; Shami did not see what was coming for him.

An FIR was falsely lodged against Shami under Indian Penal Code sections 498A (cruelty to women by their husbands as well as relatives), 307 (attempt to murder), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 376 (rape), 506 (criminal intimidation) and to top all of that, alleged accusations of match-fixing too. All of it was concocted almost as a wedding-anniversary gift by his wife.

Fortunately, Shami’s name was cleared in no time. But in his place, can be any one of us.

Marriages are marked as the most life-changing event in a person’s life. This change can be dynamically good and bad. Breaking up of marriages has become a sign of the times for various reasons. To save ourselves before the marriage from the agony that lies in doubt, we take the matter into our hands. We check, recheck, stalk and try to find out.

In such a case, a Pre-Matrimonial Investigation can be of assistance to you. Not only that, we research for you. DDS Detectives is a Detective Agency in Delhi, where you can find the most trustworthy and professional investigators doing your Matrimonial Investigations. In this world, research about your subject-of-interest gets you extremely far. Research may be even the new-age armor. In that spirit, what follows are eight reasons why you need a Pre-Matrimonial Investigation.

• Risky Matrimonial Sites:  As people are meeting online more often, we are at a loss of trusted sources. Almost every day, there are unpredictable cybercrimes taking place in India. We can easily become a victim of a chain of offenses. With easy access, our means to look threat-free online is plain-sailing. When bouts of loneliness blind us, we can find comfort in almost anybody we see on social media. We often rely on our feelings and not reason in matters of love.

•  Social Status:  We might not consider the social status of our bride/groom-to-be a reason good enough, but our family does. In a country like India, a marriage is not a personal concern. It is a familial matter and one where social reputation is taken into account. The purpose of marriage is believed to be raising children. When social paradigms are not parallel in the parents, their child’s upbringing is in a blur. When the social parameters are in harmony, they can co-live peacefully. 

•  Any Previous Marriage/Divorce: There is disputed information often “forgotten” or hidden away by spouses long after the marriage. Any reliable person would want to come clean to their partner before the marriage. Something, as sanctified as marriage, cannot be hidden or hidden from. Yet there are appalling court cases that reveal that the partners were not aware of each other’s marital history. With that in mind, how can a person marry someone they met a month back, with no fear of consequence? This is exactly why many Detective Agencies in India, conduct both Pre-Matrimonial and Post-Matrimonial Investigations.

• Job/Business Profile:  Psychopaths and narcissists are great at hiding the double life that they lead. They are mysteriously pleasant and we might even think highly of them. However, catch them off guard one day, and we just see them rile up in fury. You think you know them but you do not. If you can relate, you should consider doing a pre-marriage or post-marriage check on your spouse. This can help you confirm what your partner does for a living, their income and the nature of their profession. Often people also slyly hide that they are involved in illicit activities like drug-dealing. People often take shady shortcuts to be a success in life. This can lead them to hide matters from even their lifelong partners.

• Habits and Drug Abuse:  Before the marriage, everything feels like a dream. In no time, that dream is gone and what you have left is a 2D parody version of that dream. Lying is easy. Catching a liar is not tough either. But long after the lost dream, believing in those lies is where it gets difficult. Who your partner is, what they like and what their routine is like, is something you have to live with. In earlier days, they might mention off-hand that they have never done drugs or liked alcohol. But once you’ve married, they say it’s “occasional” and then soon, it’s a way of life for them.

•  Temperament: Anger issues, fits or seizures, history of mental health disorders are becoming a prevalent problem. Be sure to ask for or check their behavioral details before you marry them. If they hide it or lie about it, you should conduct a Pre-Matrimonial Check on them. This is characterized as sensitive information that you should be aware of beforehand.

• Finances: Money tops the chart when it comes to things people lie about the most. Marriages sometimes happen in exchange for money, in the cases of gold-digging or fraud. A one-time Indian wedding is as expensive as a lifelong educational career. An investigation entails how much they are lying about having money, their bank statements and their loans, their properties and other kinds of assets. Your spouse’s finances also determine how much they would require from you. If you come from a well-off family, it is a potential threat that it is that wealth that your partner is after.

Criminal History:  Police verification is an essential part of the investigation. This is the most important reason as to why you should conduct a Pre-Matrimonial Investigation. A clean record is a green signal, whereas something as trivial as trespassing charges can be a dispute. The point of it all is that why was this vital information hidden at all. A criminal record is a shameful book to open for anyone, but at least the partner should be told in confidence. Nowadays, police verification is run in case of rentals and recruitment too, then why not in a marriage?

In the wake of weddings and marriages, a whole lot of criminal offenses covertly take place in India. Unfortunately, it has become one of the causes of victimization. If we take off the blindfold, we might get some justice after all. Lucky for us, we have the best detective agencies within our reach. With legal and safe methods, they will be in your hour of need. 

We must keep up with the ever-changing world. As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures.
