Safety is not a passive expectation, especially in the journey of seeking love after loss. Divorced, separated, and widowed individuals already have their fair share of difficult lived experiences. These singles are more cautious and conscious about safety on matchmaking apps than young, never-married daters.

The latest survey on user safety by Indian second-chance matchmaking and matrimony app, Rebounce, shows that previously-married singles are not just relying on the platform to keep them safe; they are actively participating in safe matchmaking themselves. Over 58 per cent of the app's users have a deeply personal rule of engagement.
