4. Member Code of Conduct & Anti-Dowry Stance
Our platform is committed to upholding the cultural dignity and respect of all members, especially young men, women, and their family elders.

5. Profile Verification & Blue Badge
While we implement automated algorithms and community review to verify phone numbers, Gotras, and Government ID documents (Aadhaar, Passport, Voter ID), verification is intended as an aid and does not constitute a legal guarantee. Members and families are strongly encouraged to conduct independent family inquiries before finalizing marital unions.
