I've heard too many stories of women discovering, only after meeting in person, that a profile was built on outright lies -- fake jobs, hidden marriages, false identities entirely -- and no one should have to gamble their safety on a platform's word alone.
India's IT Rules already require matrimonial platforms operating as intermediaries to remove flagged fraudulent content and can be held liable for failing to act, and several major platforms already run in-house verification processes -- the debate now is really about whether existing intermediary law is being enforced consistently, not whether a regulatory framework exists at all.
