Safety Tips for Online Matrimony

Finding a life partner online is safe when you follow simple rules. These 10 tips help you and your family stay protected throughout your journey.

1. Never Share Money or Bank Details

A genuine family will never ask for money, gold, or bank/account details before meeting in person. Any request for money for "visa fees", "documents", "travel" or "gifts" is a red flag. Stop communication immediately and report the profile.

2. Verify the Profile Badges

Prefer profiles verified by phone, Aadhaar or family verification. Verified badges indicate the platform has confirmed key details of that member.

3. Keep Contact Details Private Until Mutual Interest

On Bhet Gath, your phone number and email are hidden until both families express interest. Do not share personal contact details through public profile fields or photos.

4. Use Chaperoned Chat for Early Conversations

Invite a parent or trusted family member to observe early conversations. If the other family is genuine, they will respect this practice rather than avoid it.

5. Never Share Photos Demanding Privacy

Do not share private, intimate or compromising photos with a profile you barely know. These can later be used for blackmail. Report any such request immediately.

6. Meet Family Members Early

Genuine proposals are open to family involvement. Arrange a video call or a preliminary family meeting early on. Beware of anyone who insists on staying secretive.

7. First Meet in a Public Place

If the couple plans to meet, choose a public place during daytime and inform a family member about the meeting location and time.

8. Check for Inconsistencies

Notice if details change over time — age, profession, city, education. Small inconsistencies repeated several times are a strong warning sign.

9. Use Reverse Image Search

Google Lens can check if a profile photo is copied from the internet. This is a quick way to spot fake profiles.

10. Report Anything Suspicious

Use the Report button on any profile. Reporting keeps the entire community safe. Your report is confidential and our team reviews it within 24 hours.
