IdontWantDowry.com is India's first matrimonial website for dowry-free marriages.[1][2] The website was launched on April 2, 2006 by Nalini Chidambaram, a senior highcourt advocate in Chennai. Despite being outlawed in 1961, the dowry system has continued to survive in some social castes. IDontWantDowry.com attempts to create a meeting place for brides and grooms who want to marry without dowry. As of 2017, IdontWantDowry.com has more than 5,500 members[3] and 29 couples have married through the website.[citation needed]
IdontWantDowry.com conducts "Matrimonial Meets" known as "Swyamavaraams". This is a place where brides and grooms can meet in person to choose their life partner.
IdontWantDowry.com launched a job portal,[4] an online platform that provides employment for the disabled.[5]
