Can city-level Weddme findings be used as city-wide marriage statistics?

Direct answer
No. A city-level Weddme finding can describe eligible Weddme profiles associated with that city, if the study defines the cohort clearly and has enough data.
It should not be treated as a city-wide marriage statistic unless the source is designed to represent the city population. For city-wide claims, government statistics or representative surveys are more appropriate.
A useful way to read city findings is as digital-matrimony context for Weddme users in that location. It can raise good questions, but population-level conclusions need official denominators and representative data.
