Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you'd want to know before you join — verification, caste, safety, and how it all works.

Getting started

Is Meet A Sikh free?+

Yes. Signing up, creating a profile, and matching is free on both iOS and Android.

Which countries is it available in?+

Meet A Sikh is available to download worldwide on iOS and Android, with the majority of members currently in the UK.

Is Meet A Sikh a dating app or a matrimonial site?+

It sits between the two on purpose. It has the ease of an app, but every part of it — prompts, matching, verification — is built around marriage-minded intent, not casual swiping. Think of it as a Sikh matrimony app with modern app-store polish rather than a traditional matrimonial portal.

How is Meet A Sikh different from other Sikh matrimonial sites and apps?+

Two things. First, we never ask about or match on caste — it isn't part of Sikhi, so it has no place in how people meet on our platform. Second, every profile is checked by hand by a real person before it goes live, not approved automatically.

Faith, caste & identity

Do you ask about caste?+

No, and we never will. Caste isn't part of Sikhi, so we don't collect it, display it, or use it to match people. Read more on our No caste, ever page.

Can Amritdhari Sikhs use Meet A Sikh?+

Yes. Your profile can reflect where you are on your spiritual path — including if you've taken Amrit — so you can find someone walking a similar path.

Does Meet A Sikh support preferences around turban and kesh?+

Yes. Profiles let you share how you practise, including things like keeping kesh or wearing a turban, so this can be part of an honest match rather than an assumption.

Is Meet A Sikh only for Amritdhari or strictly practising Sikhs?+

No — people are on different points in their spiritual journey, and the app is built to reflect that honestly rather than expect everyone to be in the same place.

Marriage, matchmaking & life stage

Can divorced Sikhs use Meet A Sikh?+

Yes. The app is open to anyone Sikh and marriage-minded, whatever stage of life they're starting from.

Is Meet A Sikh only for first marriages?+

No — it's for any Sikh looking for a serious, marriage-minded connection, including second marriages.

Does Meet A Sikh work like traditional Sikh matchmaking, with family involved?+

We don't require family involvement, but we don't rule it out either. The app is built around serious intent — many of the same values that matter in traditional matchmaking (honesty, faith, long-term intent) are built into the profile and matching experience.

What is Anand Karaj?+

Anand Karaj is the Sikh wedding ceremony. It literally means "blissful union" and centres on the Guru Granth Sahib and the four Laavan (wedding hymns).

Verification & safety

How are profiles verified?+

Every profile is reviewed by hand by a real member of our team before it goes live. We check for genuine identity and intent — not just a photo.

How do I report a profile?+

You can report any profile directly from within the app. Our team reviews reports and takes action on accounts that don't meet our standards.

Are there bots or fake profiles on Meet A Sikh?+

We hand-verify every profile specifically to keep bots and fake accounts out — this is one of the main reasons the verification step exists.

How is my data handled?+

We take privacy seriously and never sell your data. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Using the app

How long does sign-up take?+

A couple of minutes. We ask for the essentials to get you started rather than a long form.

What makes a good Meet A Sikh profile?+

Honesty about where you are on your path — how you practise, your views on the things that matter, and what you're actually looking for. Vague profiles get vague matches.

Can I delete my account?+

Yes, at any time, from within the app. Deleting your account removes your profile and data per our Privacy Policy.

Is there a paid tier or subscription?+

The core app — signing up, building a profile, and matching — is free. Any optional extras are made clear in-app; nothing is hidden.
