How can I tell if the person I met online is married?
There's no button that tells you whether someone is married, but the same signs keep coming up: the person only chats at certain times, never introduces you to friends and avoids photos together. Talk openly, notice their routine and be careful if the story keeps changing.
Someone hiding a marriage is usually hiding the rest of their life too: locked profiles, very few photos, no friends in common. None of this is proof on its own, but several signs together deserve attention.
Veritaza never shows anyone's relationship status, partner or family. What it does is check whether the person's photos, name and number turn up elsewhere with a different story.
What to look out for
- The person only replies at set times and disappears over weekends and public holidays.
- They never video call from home, or they're always "out".
- There are no recent photos with other people and the profile is new.
- Ask them straight out. A vague, irritated answer, or one that changes from one chat to the next, is a sign.
- Search for their photos online: if they show up under another name, the whole story may be fake.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I ask to see a marriage certificate?
- You can ask, but only the person can show it to you. If they refuse everything and still ask for your trust or your money, be careful.
- Does Veritaza show whether the person is married?
- No. Veritaza never shows a partner, family or address. It checks for signs of a scam: stolen photos, copied messages, a suspicious number and a name linked to scams.
