SutraSocial: Matrimony

SutraSocial is a matrimonial service with one unusual rule: nobody browses you. There is no search box, no endless scroll, no wall of photographs. The service proposes a few matches it can justify, and you decide — one at a time — what each of them may see. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Your details stay yours. Photographs, mobile, WhatsApp, email, Instagram and Facebook each have their own switch, set separately for every match. They stay masked until you turn them on for that person, and turning one off closes it again. • Nothing is public. No profile is listed, linkable or searchable — no page of yours for a colleague to come across, and nothing for a search engine to index. • You are told who opened your profile — who, and when. • Photographs of real people. Uploads that declare they were made by an image generator, or carry a heavy retouching trail, are refused, and you are told why. These checks read what a file says about itself, so a stripped file can still pass — we would rather say so than let you assume otherwise. THE QUESTIONS THAT ACTUALLY DECIDE A MARRIAGE • Gotra and mool are a bar, not a score. A pair sharing either is never proposed, however well they match otherwise. • The three languages you are comfortable in at home — asked of both sides, and counted. • Living with parents, answered the way people really answer it: yes, for a while, decide after some months together, or rather not. A pair is scored on how near the two answers are. • Children from an earlier marriage, asked plainly on both sides. Son or daughter, approximate age, and who the child lives with — never a name, never a date of birth. The other side is asked separately whether they are ready, and where the answers disagree the match is not made. • A profile that contradicts itself is not matched until you resolve it. Say money matters little and then require a house, a car and a high income, and we ask you to settle that first. MATCHES ON THE DAY YOU JOIN Finish your profile at midnight and your matches are there at midnight, not whenever an office next runs a batch. Every match is scored from both sides and shown as a breakdown, not one mysterious percentage. Raise your own minimum whenever you want fewer, stronger ones. IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE Every question and screen is offered in nine languages, chosen before anything else. Nobody should describe the family they want in a language they are still translating in their head. HOROSCOPES, IF THEY MATTER TO YOU Manglik, rashi and nakshatra count towards the score, weighted as heavily or lightly as you ask. A family for whom the kundli decides everything and one for whom it decides nothing are both served honestly. KEEP, OR SET ASIDE Keep the ones worth a conversation and set the rest aside. Both are private to you — the other side is never told — and anything set aside can be brought back. SHARE WITH YOUR FAMILY A marriage is not decided by one person at a screen. Send a plain biodata to your mother, brother or aunt — as text, with no photographs, no contact details and no link that keeps working. FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY A profile can be created by the person themselves or by a parent or sibling, and it says which. Conversations happen inside the service, and any match can be reported or blocked at any time. VERIFIED MEMBERS Identity is confirmed by a one-time password to your Aadhaar-linked mobile. We receive your name and date of birth; the number itself is never stored. MEMBERSHIP Registering, building your profile and seeing your matches cost nothing, and those matches are the real ones, not a teaser. A membership is what opens a match and begins a conversation. YOUR DATA Close your account and your profile, photographs, matches, messages and visit history all go. Invoices and payment records are kept, because tax law requires us to keep them for 72 months. We would rather say so than imply everything disappears.
