I'm wondering how much of the OP's question is culturally based? I notice she lives in India. Traditions there may be very different from Western culture. I admit that I'm ignorant enough about Indian culture to not know.
Am going to answer from my Western perspective. In my opinion it is a very individual decision. I have been widowed for 15 years (was young widow). I'm happy with being single. That is not what others want though. It's up to each woman to decide for herself.
I will say that it should be up to the widow to decide if/when she wants to look for another mate. I believe listing her name on a site for people looking for a new mate is presumptuous. I can see offering to help her create a listing if she asks for help, but it's not anyone else's place to do it for her. Personally, I would have been royally, er, "ripped" if someone had listed me on such a site, especially only a month after my husband died! Fer pity's sake I was still dealing with practicalities at that point.
