Mandatory vs. Secondary Preferences

In the world of matchmaking, it’s not just about meeting someone — it’s about meeting someone right. That’s where Tribalshaadi.ai’s matching steps in, guided by what matters most to you.

But here’s a question we get often:👉 What’s the difference between mandatory and secondary preferences?

Let’s break it down.

Mandatory Preferences: Your Non-Negotiables

These are your deal-breakers. Our AI strictly filters profiles based on them, ensuring every match meets your core values and expectations.

🧭 Tribalshaadi.ai mandatory preferences include:

• Religion

• Age

• Height

• Marital Status

If someone doesn't meet these, you won’t see their profile. It’s your way of saying: “These are essential to who I am and what I want.”

Secondary Preferences: Your Flex Zone

These preferences matter—but you may be open to flexibility. Our AI uses them to refine your match list, but won't eliminate profiles that don’t fully align.

✨ Secondary preferences include:

• Tribe

• Location

• Job Type

• Planning to settle down

You’ll still see profiles that don’t exactly match here, in case chemistry surprises you. After all, the perfect partner might check every emotional box—even if they’re from a different city.
