BENGALURU: Today there are innumerable Matrimonial Sites that people can use to find their life partner. But all this cannot come without risks. People are making fake ID’s to hook up. With an increase in the number of complaints of men putting up fake profiles on matrimonial websites and duping women, the government has decided to step in and create a technology platform to check such fraudsters, according to indiatimes.com.
Though the Government has made it compulsory to attach Aadhaar ID while using these sites, matrimonial agencies are apprehensive about making Aadhaar mandatory. It’s a mechanism of internal checks to ensure that fake profiles get detected. But at the same time we can’t stop general public from registering with these sites if they don’t give their Aadhaar number.
The Department of Electronics and Information Technology has called a meeting of various matrimonial site agencies and other stakeholders on July 8 to decide a multi-tenant architecture for preventing the exploitation of young women registered on these sites. Leading websites such as Bharat Matrimony and Jeevansathi.com are also suggesting beefing up its security features to prevent such frauds.
Matrimonial websites should make provisions to capture the Aadhaar number of a groom, putting it in Aadhar seeding process and provide facility only after it has been verified by its 12-digit unique identity number. By using these measures, it can help in stopping women from being tricked into a false marriage which is extremely important with the rising number of cases that we are witnessing each day.
