Supreme Court Halts Fraud Case Against Shaadi.com
A woman in India said she was tricked by a man she met on Shaadi.com, an online dating site.
The man used a fake profile and asked her for money.
She complained, and the Supreme Court has paused the case against the dating site's owner, Anupam Mittal, while they look into it.
The woman believes the site should have checked if the man was real, but the site argues they weren't responsible.
The man used the photo of a politician.
The woman gave him INR 10 lakh.
