Channel 4 acquired the rights for 'Married At First Sight' for the UK last year, but now it is understood that after finding singletons to take part in the show, it has been produced. The premise involves the 'bride' and 'groom', who only see their intended partner for the first time as they prepare to tie the knot. Cameras then follow the couples throughout the first six weeks of their relationship to see if they are a match. After this time period, the couple can decide whether to divorce or continue to live as a married couple. The premise has already had versions adapted in Denmark, Australia and the US, but it has proved controversial with many claiming the show makes a mockery of marriage. Others have said the concept is "ridiculous".
Tracey Cox, a sex and relationship expert, is quoted by the MailOnline as saying: "The premise of the show makes a complete mockery of the concept of marriage which is, in its purest form, meant to be a pledge to stay together forever.
"Whether that pledge be made in the first flush of love six weeks in, or after a considered decade of dating and living together, most people walk down the aisle hoping it will last and feeling they have a good sense of the person they're marrying.
"Marrying a complete stranger is a gimmick and I'm astonished it's actually legal, to be honest."
The British version of Married At First Sight is expected to air this summer.
