Weddme Research & Insights
Research and insights on Pakistan's matrimonial landscape
Good research should answer useful questions without claiming more than the data can prove. This growing library looks at how people in Pakistan create profiles, describe their preferences, and search for a rishta. Every report explains where the numbers came from and where their limits are.

We show how we reached each finding
Numbers need context. For every report, we will explain who and what was included, what was left out, and how the analysis was done. Weddme data can describe the profiles and activity in a study, but it cannot speak for every family in Pakistan or tell us why someone made a choice.

Each report uses a frozen, dated dataset and documents the population included in the analysis.
Personal details are removed from reporting, results are aggregated, and small groups are suppressed where disclosure could create risk.
Sample size, missing data, exclusions, definitions, analytical method, and known limitations are published with the findings.
Profile composition, stated preferences, and observed platform activity are labeled separately so readers know what each finding measures.
Material corrections and methodology changes are dated and recorded on the report page.
Patterns we can measure
We can study profile details, saved preferences, and eligible platform activity when the report clearly defines the dataset and measure used.
Questions that need more evidence
Questions about public opinion, why people choose an online service, market-wide adoption, or cause and effect need surveys and reliable outside sources.
Media and citations
