Child safety standards

Judibandhan is a matrimonial app for adults only. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and for any attempt to use the app to harm, groom or exploit anyone under 18.

Who can use Judibandhan

• Members must meet the legal minimum marriage age in India: 18 for women and 21 for men.
• The date of birth is required when a profile is created, and the app refuses to create a profile that does not meet the age requirement.
• Profiles that turn out to be underage or misrepresent their age are removed.

How we prevent abuse

• Profile photos and photos shared in chat are reviewed by our team, and anything unsafe is removed.
• Phone numbers, email addresses and off-platform handles are blocked in chat, so people cannot be moved to unmonitored channels before both sides are ready.
• Chat opens only after both people accept a contact request. There are no public posts or open messaging.
• Members can block or restrict anyone at any time.

How to report a concern

• In the app: open the profile or chat and use Report. Choose "Underage or not eligible to marry" or "Inappropriate photos", and add details.
• By email: judibandhan@gmail.com, with the subject "Child safety".

What we do when we receive a report

• Reports about child safety are reviewed first, ahead of all other reports.
• The content is removed and the account is suspended straight away while we investigate.
• We keep the evidence needed for an investigation, even if the account is later deleted.
• We report confirmed or credible cases to the authorities in India as the law requires, including the police and the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in), under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012.
• We cooperate with law enforcement requests.
