How we write and review our guides

Our guides are written by the Mafimo Editorial Team to help families make careful decisions about marriage. Each one is checked against official sources, reviewed by a second person before it is published, and dated whenever it changes.

Who writes our content

The Mafimo Editorial Team.

Guides are published under the Mafimo Editorial Team, the people who build and run Mafimo. Where a guide covers legal or safety matters, it is checked against official government sources, and where an outside expert has reviewed it, their name and role appear on the guide.

Sources we rely on

Official sources first, and linked so you can check them.

  • Laws and rules are cited from official government websites, such as India Code and the Ministry of External Affairs.
  • Safety advice follows official guidance, such as the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
  • Statements about the Mafimo app describe features that exist in the app today. We do not describe features that are only planned.
  • We do not publish statistics we cannot source. If a number appears in a guide, the source is named next to it.

Review and updates

Every guide is reviewed before publishing and dated when it changes.

  1. A writer drafts the guide from the sources above.
  2. A second person checks every fact, feature claim and link, and checks the language against our respect guidelines below.
  3. The guide is published with its date. Each meaningful change updates the “Last updated” date shown on the page.

We use AI writing tools to help draft and edit some content. A person reviews, checks and takes responsibility for everything we publish.

Respectful language

How we write about communities, disability and marital status.

  • We never rank or praise one religion, caste or community above another. Pages about a community describe practices and choices, not status.
  • We use person-first, respectful language about disability.
  • We write about divorce, widowhood and second marriage without stigma.
  • We do not describe skin colour or appearance as a preference to be ranked.

Independence

No paid content in our guides.

We do not accept payment to include, rank or recommend anything in our guides. If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be clearly labelled as sponsored.
