(Online Dating Industry Journal) The Associated Press also has an article with more details on the lawsuit by Californian lawyer John Claassen against eHarmony for not allowing him to use the site because he was separated, but still married. From the article:
"An e-mail Claassen said he received from the company's customer service department explained that "we have to create rules based on what's best for most people, most of the time." It says eHarmony is in the business of matching singles "free of relationship commitments."
The stance is based on customer surveys that show the vast majority of users want their matches to be divorced, widowed or never married at all, according to the company. Claassen would be welcome to join "once your divorce is final," the e-mail stated."
Claassen is seeking $12,000 in civil penalties. His divorce is expected to be final within the next two months.
