Safety Tips & Guidelines
Your safety is our top priority. Follow these essential guidelines to ensure a secure and positive matrimonial experience.
Important Safety Notice
If you ever feel unsafe or encounter suspicious behavior, immediately stop communication and report the user to our support team. Trust your instincts – your safety is more important than being polite.
Profile Safety
Protect Your Personal Information
Never share your full name, address, phone number, or financial details in your profile or early conversations.
Use Recent and Authentic Photos
Upload genuine, recent photos of yourself. Avoid using overly edited images or photos with other people.
Be Honest About Yourself
Provide accurate information about your age, education, and background. Honesty builds trust and prevents disappointment.
Keep Professional Email Separate
Use a personal email address for your matrimonial profile, separate from your work or business email.
Communication Safety
Start with Platform Messaging
Use our secure in-app messaging system before moving to external communication channels like WhatsApp or phone calls.
Watch for Red Flags
Be cautious of users who ask for money, refuse video calls, have incomplete profiles, or seem too good to be true.
Take Time to Know Each Other
Don't rush into sharing personal details or making commitments. Take time to build trust gradually.
Verify Their Identity
Request video calls to confirm the person matches their photos. Look for verified profiles with our blue checkmark.
Meeting in Person
Meet in Public Places
Choose busy, public locations like cafes, restaurants, or shopping centers for your first few meetings.
Inform Family or Friends
Always let trusted family members or friends know where you're going, who you're meeting, and when you expect to return.
Arrange Your Own Transportation
Drive yourself, use your own transport, or book your own ride. Avoid accepting rides from someone you've just met.
Trust Your Instincts
If something feels wrong or uncomfortable, trust your gut feeling. You have the right to leave at any time.
Financial Security
Never Send Money
Legitimate matrimonial prospects will never ask for money, gifts, or financial assistance, especially early in conversations.
Avoid Investment Opportunities
Be wary of matches who discuss business opportunities, investments, or get-rich-quick schemes.
Protect Banking Information
Never share bank account details, credit card numbers, or other financial information with potential matches.
Be Cautious of Emergency Stories
Scammers often create fake emergencies to request money. Verify any urgent requests through independent sources.
Family Involvement
Involve Your Family
Keep your family informed about your matrimonial activities. Their guidance and support can be invaluable.
Verify Family Details
Ask about and verify details about their family background, especially if family approval is important to you.
Meet Their Family
Meeting their family members can provide insights into their character and confirm their authenticity.
Background Verification
Consider professional background verification services for serious prospects, especially before engagement.
Digital Safety
Use Strong Passwords
Create a strong, unique password for your matrimonial account and enable two-factor authentication if available.
Be Careful with Social Media
Avoid sharing your social media profiles too early. Adjust privacy settings to limit what strangers can see.
Don't Click Suspicious Links
Avoid clicking on links sent by matches, especially those leading to external websites or requesting personal information.
Log Out from Shared Devices
Always log out completely when using matrimonial sites on public or shared computers.
