Original content standards
ShaadiGuide publishes original explanations, checklists, examples and tools. We do not copy another wedding website or present lightly rewritten material as our own.
Sources and verification
We distinguish verifiable planning information from traditions that vary. Primary and authoritative sources are preferred for law, government services and other procedural claims. Cultural information is framed as common practice rather than a universal rule, and religious specifics should be confirmed with the family’s officiant or elders.
Editorial review
Pages are checked for internal consistency, clear sourcing where needed, respectful terminology, working links and alignment between visible content and structured data. A review note or date is added only when a meaningful review has actually occurred; it does not imply professional endorsement.
Cultural sensitivity
We avoid treating North Indian, upper-caste, metropolitan or any other experience as universally Indian. We use respectful language, acknowledge variation and welcome informed correction.
Corrections policy
Readers may email hello@shaadiguide.in with the page, issue and supporting context. Substantive errors are reviewed against reliable sources and corrected at the source template where applicable, so future builds retain the change.
AI-assisted content policy
AI tools may assist with drafting, structure or quality checks. AI output is not treated as a source. Material is reviewed for accuracy, originality, tone, bias and cultural overgeneralisation before publication.
Updating older pages
We revisit guides when official procedures, site features or reliable information change. Update dates are used only after a substantive review, not for cosmetic edits.
Affiliate and advertising transparency
The site contains labelled advertising placeholders but no active advertising or affiliate programme. If commercial relationships are introduced, relevant pages will disclose them clearly and editorial recommendations will remain independently framed.
