The International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005 (IMBRA) is a U.S. law designed to protect foreign nationals from abuse in marriage-based immigration processes.
It establishes screening requirements and safeguards for relationships initiated through companies defined as "International Marriage Brokers."
You can read the full IMBRA text in the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005, specifically Section 833.
π What Defines an International Marriage Broker?
According to U.S. law, an International Marriage Broker is any entity whose primary business is to:
β’ Facilitate communication between U.S. citizens and foreign nationals for dating or marriage, and
β’ Provide personal contact information between those parties.
Entities that meet this definition are required to comply with specific regulations, including background checks and information disclosures.
π§ How TrulyCambodian Differs
TrulyCambodian is operated by Rometic, an international company based in Singapore and the Netherlands. While our platform welcomes users from the United States and
around the world, our purpose is not to match U.S. citizens with foreign nationals for marriage.
Instead:
β’ We operate a global platform where users can meet, connect, and form friendships.
β’ We do not provide personal contact information to users β communication happens solely within the platform.
β’ We charge subscription fees regardless of a user's age or citizenship.
β’ We do not recommend or match users for marriage.
Our mission is to offer a space where people can connect, build friendships, and explore relationships organically β not through arranged or incentivized matchmaking.
π Privacy and Safety
We are committed to user safety and privacy:
β’ All communication remains within the app unless users voluntarily choose to connect outside the platform.
β’ We screen user profiles and disable accounts that violate our policies or appear dishonest or abusive.
β’ We may suggest compatible users for friendship, but we never suggest or advise who someone should date or marry.
