Colophon

This is a fictional satellite.

Betrothal is a satirical concept created for Deceit, an art project about the patterns of manipulation in institutional technology. There is no real dating product behind this page. Nothing entered on this site — signup, checkout, or the chat widget — is stored or sent anywhere outside this browser tab.

Parents arrange marriages based on formation records, doctrinal alignment, and "family faith heritage." the arrangement is the data. the data is the marriage. the marriage is the app. "do not be yoked together with unbelievers." the app has the verse. the app has the yoke. the yoke is the app. the app is the match. the match is the data. the data is the covenant. the covenant is eternal.

If this project brings up something difficult, step away from the screen and contact someone you trust. In the US, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. For urgent danger, call 911. deceit.world/help has more real resources.
