A clear, honest profile gets better responses and keeps everyone safe. These guidelines apply to every profile on My Rishta Pakistan, which is free to use.

What a good profile includes

• Accurate basics: age, city, education, profession, marital status and family background, exactly as they are.
• A recent, clear photo of the person the profile is for, where photos are shown. Do not use a photo of someone else, a celebrity or an edited image that hides who you are.
• A short, honest description of the person and what the family is looking for, in plain words.
• Realistic expectations about age, education, city and family. Long lists of conditions reduce good responses.

What not to put in a profile

• Phone numbers, home addresses or ID card details. Keep contact details private and share them only after both families are comfortable.
• False information about age, income, job, education or marital status.
• Money requests of any kind. A genuine rishta never asks for money before the families have met.
• Offensive, hateful or abusive language about any religion, sect, caste, community or person.
• Political party content and advertising or links to other services.
• Photos of other people, including children, without their permission.

Staying safe

Read our scam warning signs before you share personal details or meet anyone. Meet in a public place with family, and verify a person’s identity and family details through people you trust.

Reporting a problem

If a profile looks false, copies someone else’s photo or asks for money, report it here. Profiles that break these guidelines can be removed.
