Trust and safety

Trust and verification: every badge says what we checked

Fake and stale profiles are the biggest complaint about marriage sites. Our answer is verification you can understand — and honesty about its limits.

Three badges today

  • Phone verified

    What we checked

    • Your number received our code
    • VoIP and disposable numbers are blocked

    What we did not check

    • Who owns the number
  • Real person

    What we checked

    • A live selfie, with a random gesture
    • It matches your profile photos

    What we did not check

    • Your job, education or marital status
  • ID verified

    What we checked

    • A passport, driving licence or Bangladesh NID
    • The face matches the selfie; name and age match the profile

    What we did not check

    • Criminal records
    • Whether someone is already married

Later: degree, career and "family vouched" badges (a video call between your guardian and our team).

KobulKabin does not conduct criminal background screenings on its members.

Rules that keep profiles real

  • Unverified profiles are limited, not hidden

    They can browse and send 3 interests a day, but never appear in daily matches.

  • Changes trigger a new check

    Changing your name, date of birth or main photo lowers the badge until you verify again.

  • Links wait for ID

    Links in chat stay blocked until both sides are ID verified.

Photo privacy

  • You choose who sees your photos

    Everyone, verified members only, or only after you both accept an interest — the default for women.

  • The blur is made on our servers

    A blurred copy is created when you upload, so the full photo never reaches a phone that should not have it.

  • Screenshots

    Blocked on most Android phones. iPhones cannot block them, so the app tells the other person when one is taken.

  • Hide from home

    Hide your profile from chosen countries, cities or Bangladesh districts.

What happens to your ID

  • Trained staff compare your selfie and your ID by eye. We do not create face templates.
  • Images are encrypted at upload and deleted 30 days after review. We keep only the result and its expiry.
  • Your ID is never shown to other members, guardians or matchmakers.

A human trust and safety team

  • Reports from any profile or chat in two taps — confidential, never revealing who reported.
  • We aim to act on reports within 12 hours, and within 1 hour when someone’s safety is at risk.
  • "Pressured into marriage" and "already married" are report reasons, handled by trained staff.
