Matrimonial websites act as intermediaries under the IT Act, 2000. If they merely host profiles without knowledge or involvement in the fraud, they are protected under Section 79 of the Act. However, if they fail to act on complaints, do not verify profiles despite promising to, or allow repeated fraudulent activity, they can be held liable for negligence or deficiency in service under consumer law. For financial frauds, the primary liability is on the fraudster, but the platform may be added as a party in civil or criminal proceedings. We can help initiate legal action, file complaints, and seek compensation.
