With such a large Indian presence in Dubai, a lot of the online news for the area have links to Indian ads. One that got my attention this morning was the Bengali Matrimony web site, http://www.bengalimatrimony.com/
It’s mostly the same as what (I assume) you’d expect on an online dating site back home. It has a few differences though. It seems to have a pretty comprehensive search on religion, region and language – I guess as India’s such a large, populous and diverse place.
But I thought the face search was most interesting

What it does is allow you to return all the prospective brides that have a facial similarity to your chosen Bollywood actress. Woohoo!
It seemed a bit hit and miss from my trial of this (for purely research purposes obviously), but obviously worth a try.
