What does Photo Verified mean on BeMarried?
A Photo Verified badge shows that a submitted selfie matched the profile’s current primary photo through BeMarried’s verification flow. Confident results can be decided automatically and ambiguous results can be reviewed manually. It does not confirm the person’s complete identity or verify education, profession, income, marital status, family information or other profile details.
Two distinct checks: Phone OTP and Selfie Match.
1. Phone Confirmed
Account phone number is confirmed via OTP verification during signup.
2. Photo Verified
Selfie matches primary profile picture via automated comparison.
3. Self-Declared Details
Education, profession, and income remain self-declared for independent verification.
Preventing fake profile photos without overpromising.
Fake profile photos are the single biggest cause of lost trust in online matrimony. Photo verification gives candidates and families confidence that the person in the photo is the person behind the account.
