First In India: A Matrimonial Site For Cancer Survivors

THIRUVANANTHPURAM: For the first time in India, a youth movement organization in Kerala would launch a matrimonial website to find life partners for cancer survivors, bringing solace and hope to those who have successfully battled the disease.

The initiative by the St George Orthodox Youth Movement, under the St Mary’s Orthodox Parish church at Kumbanad in Pathanamthitta district, is first of its kind in the country, the sources claimed.

The website - www.insightmatrimony.com - which seek to search suitable brides and grooms from among cancer survivors, will be launched on March 9, they said.

A member of the youth movement said the portal is part of their efforts to bring those who suffered from the disease to the mainstream society and help them lead normal family life.

“There is a tendency in our society to keep cancer patients at a distance. Even after they pull through and come to lead a normal life after treatment, often they continue to be looked at as patients, not as normal human beings,” the coordinator of the programme, Nithin Chacko Thomas, told.
