The Yogya Jodi Way

Yogya Jodi is built on a simple belief: finding a life partner should feel calm, respectful, and collaborative. We are not a dating app, and we are not a transactional marketplace. We are a space where individuals and their families can explore this journey together \u2014 with dignity and care.

These guidelines exist to protect that spirit. They are not rules imposed from above \u2014 they are values we share as a community.

Every profile on Yogya Jodi represents a real person and a real family. Treat everyone the way you would want your own family to be treated.

• Be kind in your interactions, even when declining interest.
• Do not make assumptions about someone based on their photo, location, or community alone.
• Remember that parents are often involved. A disrespectful message does not just affect one person \u2014 it affects a whole family.
• Constructive feedback is welcome. Insults, mockery, and unsolicited criticism are not.

We understand that not every interest will lead to a match, and that is completely fine. What matters is how you communicate that.

• If someone expresses interest and you are not interested, respond with a polite decline rather than ignoring them indefinitely.
• You do not owe anyone a detailed explanation, but a brief, respectful acknowledgement goes a long way.
• If you have matched with someone and realise it is not working, communicate that honestly rather than disappearing.
• We have built gentle decline options into the platform to make this easier for everyone.

Your privacy is sacred. We have built Yogya Jodi to protect it, and we expect every member to respect the privacy of others.

• Contact details (phone, email) are shared only after a mutual match. Never ask for personal contact information before matching.
• Do not screenshot, share, or distribute another member's profile, photos, or personal details outside the platform without their explicit consent.
• Family Hub information is private to your family. Do not share what you see in another family's shared space.
• If you suspect your privacy has been violated, report it immediately. We take these matters very seriously.

We celebrate family involvement in the rishta process \u2014 it is one of the things that makes Yogya Jodi different. But involvement and control are not the same thing.

• Family members are welcome to browse, suggest, and discuss \u2014 but the final decision always belongs to the individual.
• Do not create a profile for someone without their knowledge or consent.
• Parents: your role is to support, not to dictate. Share your perspective, then trust your child to make their own choice.
• Individuals: include your family because you want to, not because you have to. Set boundaries that feel right for you.

Some behaviours have no place on Yogya Jodi. We enforce zero tolerance for:

• Casteism and discrimination \u2014 Do not reject or demean someone based on caste, sub-caste, or community. Preferences are personal; prejudice is not.
• Colorism \u2014 Comments about skin colour, "fair" or "dark," have no place here. Every person deserves dignity regardless of appearance.
• Harassment and abuse \u2014 Any form of threatening, abusive, sexually explicit, or intimidating communication will result in immediate suspension.
• Catfishing and fake profiles \u2014 Only create a profile for yourself (or your child with their consent). Using someone else's photos or misrepresenting your identity is grounds for a permanent ban.
• Financial solicitation \u2014 Never ask for money, gifts, or financial details from other members.

If you encounter behaviour that violates these guidelines, we want to know about it.

• Report a profile: Tap the three-dot menu on any profile and select "Report." Choose a reason, add details if you wish, and submit.
• Block a user: You can block anyone instantly. They will not be able to see your profile or contact you.
• What happens after a report: Our team reviews every report within 24 hours. Depending on severity, we may issue a warning, temporarily suspend, or permanently ban the account.
• Confidentiality: Reports are confidential. The reported user will not know who filed the report.
• Direct support: For urgent issues, email us at contact@yogyajodi.com. We respond within 24 hours.
