Bangladeshis live and work all over the world, from the Gulf and Malaysia to the UK, Italy, the United States, Canada and Australia. Finding a spouse from abroad is its own challenge. Bandhon offers matrimony for Bangladeshis abroad, NRB and probashi alike, as well as for people in Bangladesh who are happy to marry someone overseas.
Whether you are a student, a working professional or settled with family abroad, this page explains how it works.
Say where you live and where you are willing to live
The first question every family asks is practical: where will the couple live? On Bandhon, you set the country you live in and whether you are open to relocating. That makes your situation clear before anyone sends an interest.
If you are settled in Toronto and hope your spouse will join you, say so. If you are working in Riyadh and plan to return home in a few years, say that too. People in Bangladesh can then see at a glance who is likely to move and who is not, and you avoid conversations that were never going to work.
Keeping family at home involved
Many probashi Bangladeshis rely on parents in Bangladesh to help with the search, since they know local families and can meet people in person. With your consent, a parent or guardian can be linked to your account to help. They cannot read your conversations or send interests for you, so the decisions are still yours. Our guide on searching with family has practical advice for doing this across time zones.
Before committing, talk openly about the details: visas and the time a move can take, work and study plans for both of you, and how often you will visit home. If either of you is in Bangladesh, meeting in person with family present is a sensible step. Our meeting safely guide covers that.
For registration, rules depend on where the marriage takes place. A Kazi, registrar or lawyer can confirm the current requirements in Bangladesh, and the marriage registration guide gives background.
Why verification matters across borders
When you cannot easily meet someone's family, trust matters even more. Every Bandhon member verifies with their Bangladeshi NID and a short selfie video before sending interests or messages, and one NID can verify only one account. Verified members show a badge, and their name and date of birth come from the NID.
You can sign up with an email address from anywhere, and conversations open only when both people accept. Your full name stays private, your photos are visible only to the people you choose, and your profile never appears on Google.

Common questions
Can Bangladeshis living abroad join Bandhon?
Yes. Bandhon is for Bangladeshi adults at home and abroad. You can sign up with an email address or Google from any country, set the country you live in and say whether you are open to relocating. Verification uses your Bangladeshi NID and a short selfie video, which you can complete online.
Can I find a probashi groom or bride while living in Bangladesh?
Yes. Members abroad show the country they live in, and you can see whether they are open to relocating. Use your partner preferences to focus on the places that suit you. Bandhon explains why each profile is suggested, so you can judge quickly whether your plans fit together.
How can my parents in Bangladesh help with my search?
With your consent, a parent or guardian can be linked to your account to help with the search. This works well when you are abroad and they can speak with families locally. They cannot read your conversations or send interests and messages on your behalf, so you remain in charge.
How do I know someone abroad is genuine?
Every member must verify with an NID and a selfie video before sending interests or messages, and the face match runs on Bandhon's own servers. Look for the verified badge, take your time, and involve family before any commitment. You can block or report anyone, and trained staff review reports.
