Marrying again after a divorce or the loss of a spouse takes courage, and it deserves respect. Bandhon is a matrimony site where divorced and widowed Bangladeshis can look for a second marriage without awkward explanations or judgement.
This page is for anyone starting over, and for the parents, siblings and grown-up children who want to support them.
Your marital status, stated simply
When you build your profile, you state your marital status, such as divorced or widowed. Being clear from the start means the people who contact you already know, and you are spared the conversation where it comes out late.
You can also filter on marital status in your partner preferences. Many people looking for a second marriage feel most at ease with someone who has been through something similar. Others are happy to meet anyone who is open to the idea. Either way, the choice is yours.
How much more you share is up to you. A sentence or two in your profile is usually enough: whether you have children, and what you hope for now. There is no need to explain why a marriage ended.
What often matters the second time
People who marry again usually know more clearly what they want. Common priorities include:
- Children. If you have children, think about how and when to introduce a new partner, and talk openly about living arrangements.
- Family support. Parents and relatives may have strong views. Involving them early, with clear boundaries, tends to go more smoothly.
- Pace. Some people want to move quickly; others need time. Say which you are.
- Practical matters. Home, work, finances and responsibilities to the wider family are worth discussing honestly before any commitment.
Our questions to ask before marriage can help you plan these conversations. If you are curious about legal steps, our marriage registration guide gives the background, and a Kazi, registrar or lawyer can confirm what applies to you.
Privacy when you are starting over
Starting again can feel exposed, especially in a close community. Bandhon keeps your search discreet:
- Your full name is private. Other members see only your display name, and you choose who sees your photos.
- Profiles are visible only to signed-in members and never appear on Google.
- Every member verifies with their NID and a selfie video before sending interests or messages.
- A conversation opens only when both people accept, so no one can message you uninvited.
If anyone is unkind, you can block and report them, and trained staff will review the report. Read more on our safety page.

Common questions
Can divorced people find a partner on Bandhon?
Yes. Bandhon is open to divorced and widowed adults as well as those who have never married. You state your marital status on your profile, and you can filter on marital status in your partner preferences to meet people who are in a similar situation or open to it.
Can I look only for divorced or widowed partners?
Yes. In your partner preferences, you can filter on marital status, so your suggestions focus on people who are divorced or widowed. If you are open to anyone, leave the filter wider. Bandhon also shows why each profile is suggested, so you can see what you have in common.
Should I mention my children on my profile?
It is usually wise to mention them briefly, so anyone who sends an interest already knows. You do not need to share names or details, and you control who sees your photos. A short, honest line helps you meet people who welcome a family, and saves time for everyone.
Will people I know find out I am looking for a second marriage?
Your profile is never shown on Google or the public web, only to signed-in members, and they see your display name rather than your full name. You also decide who can see your photos, and you can pause discovery whenever you want to step back.
