What does contact-channel confirmation mean in online matrimony?

Last reviewed:

Answer

Direct answer

Contact-channel confirmation means a platform has recorded that an email address or phone number passed its confirmation process. In Weddme’s 6,258-profile trust-and-verification cohort, this was the main measured confirmation signal. It is useful because it shows account reachability through a contact channel, but it has a narrow meaning. It does not verify government identity, education, job, marital history, family background, intention, safety or compatibility.
