First, the scope and authority of the marriage company.
The main duty of a marriage company is to help customers plan and organize weddings, not to inquire about personal marital status. Therefore, from the perspective of authority, the marriage company does not have the power to directly inquire about the marital status of individuals. They usually pay attention to wedding preparations, venue layout, ceremony flow and other matters, rather than personal marital status.
Second, the protection and privacy of personal information.
Personal marital status belongs to personal privacy and is protected by law. Unless authorized by law or agreed by the parties, no institution or individual has the right to inquire about the marital status of others without authorization. Therefore, when cooperating with a marriage company, individuals have the right to refuse to provide personal information unrelated to the wedding, including marital status.
Third, the possibility of indirect access to information.
Although marriage companies themselves do not have the authority to directly inquire about personal marital status, they may indirectly obtain relevant information through other channels. For example, in the process of preparing for the wedding, the wedding company may need to communicate with partners such as hotels and wedding companies, and these partners may have mastered some personal information of customers. In addition, if customers disclose their marital status on social media and other platforms, marriage companies may also obtain relevant information through these channels.
However, there is great uncertainty in this indirect way of obtaining information, which may involve the risk of infringing on personal privacy. Therefore, when obtaining and using customer information, matchmaking companies should abide by relevant laws and regulations and respect customers' privacy and right to know.
To sum up:
The marriage company itself does not have the authority to directly inquire about the personal marital status, but it may obtain relevant information indirectly through other channels. Individuals should pay attention to protecting their privacy and avoid revealing unnecessary personal information when cooperating with marriage and love companies. At the same time, marriage companies should also abide by laws and regulations, respect customers' right to privacy and information, and ensure the legal and safe use of customer information.
