The matrimonial sites can be legally taken action against for sharing fake profiles. Matrimonial sites are considered "intermediaries" under the Information Technology Act, 2000. This means they are responsible for the content hosted on their platform, including fake profiles. They have a duty to implement measures like "Know Your Customer" (KYC) procedures to verify the legitimacy of profiles. If a matrimonial site fails to do so and facilitates fraud, it can be held liable.
Many matrimonial sites have reporting mechanisms in place to flag fake profiles. If a user suspects a profile is fake, they can report it to the site.
Individuals can also file online complaints about such offenses on the national cybercrime reporting portal (cybercrime.gov.in).
