The Arranged Gay Marriage Bureau provides a revolutionary arranged marriage system exclusively for gay men and women. With over 3,700 clients worldwide, its founder Urvi Shah claims to fulfil people’s dreams and help find them a partner for a substantial fee. After seeing impressive testimonies and stories about the Bureau in the media, Reeta Loi uses the service to attempt to find a partner and follows the journey of Keith as he searches for a husband. Urvi’s assurances that she personally picks out a suitable partner for each of her clients, leads them to start the process with great optimism. But as the months go by, the reality becomes clear that Reeta and the other people using the service are being scammed.

Marriage: Shattered Vows
With changes in society leading to a fall in marriage and rise in divorce, is it possible that the institution has outlived its function?
It’s well known that the origins of marriage are in consolidating wealth, unifying allied families and fomenting a society where the family unit is self-sufficient, but as we have moved on, the concept of marriage has remained static. Marriage: Shattered Vows examines what marriage means to us today, visiting the lives of those devastated by their own perceived failures and religious figures who promote it. We investigate the marriage industry and the costs of divorce, against a backdrop of government incentives, look at the arrival of Gay marriage, the rise in sanctioned infidelity and alternative relationship structures.
