Knanaya brides — Kottayam and Chingavanam

Knanaya families — Catholic parishes under the Archeparchy of Kottayam and Jacobite parishes around Chingavanam — have kept marriage within the community for generations, and an alliance is still settled with both families and the parish closely involved.

Knanaya families have married within the community since Thomas of Cana landed in AD 345, so the search begins from a pool where that is already settled — the Catholic parishes of the Kottayam archeparchy and the Jacobite parishes around Chingavanam alike.

What the profiles tell you

Because endogamy is the community’s defining practice, a bride’s profile establishes Knanaya descent on both sides before anything else, then parish, education, profession and family background.

How the search works

Register free and search a pool where the endogamy question is already settled. That is most of what the site does; the rest is the ordinary business of shortlisting and making contact.
