Visakhapatnam, March 13, 2013: Until recently one heard of brides and grooms approaching detective agencies to check out the prospective partners but nowadays detective agencies in Vizag are flooded with requests from parents of brides, to check the sexual conduct of the grooms.   Approaching private detective agencies was confined only to big cities and metros, but the trend has now picked up in Vizag for divorces and post divorces. The handful of private detective agencies in the city has now grown to more than 20. Most of the cases these agencies handle are related to matrimonial issues.

Interestingly, now days, parents of brides are approaching these agencies to check out sexual conduct of the groom -to-be. Private detectives check the groom-to-be with the help of some psychological and social tests. 

These detective agencies offer to check a person’s temperamental levels, past relationships, work culture, body language most importantly mother-in-law’s attitude in the pre marital check.  

 “We have our specific agencies and agents who work for us in Vizag. These days we are getting at least 10 cases in Vizag. And out of them 7 are related to pre marital checks and divorce issues, including this sexual orientation related cases. In some cases police too refer them to us,” said Sharp Detective Agencies Pvt Ltd, MD, DK Giri.

 Real Eye detective agency, manager, Sai Kumar adds “May be because of the increased awareness among educated youth and they want to be on a safer side approaching us to check their probable partners habits, relationships. These days marital related, divorce issues top the list of clients we receive every month and next are property related disputes,”

More men victims of false alimony related cases registered against them approach the private detectives to establish that the spouse seeking separation was not dependent on the husband’s income and has her own steady monthly income resources, other monetary gains.    

“There is nothing wrong in checking a boy’s background, his behaviour and habits, including his sexual orientation before marriage. We can’t do anything if his real nature, character is exposed after marriage. We can’t take such a risk,” said Narasimha Murthy of Madhurawada.

Parents do not mind spending a few thousands to a detective agency to ensure their child’s secure future.
