Iran launches a state-approved dating app for youth 伊朗推出國家認證的交友軟體

Iran’s authorities have warned about the country’s rising marriage age and declining birth rate. They have released a state-approved Islamic dating app called Hamdam to promote “lasting marriage” for young people.

Developers of the app claim it uses artificial intelligence to find matches “only for singles seeking permanent marriages.” Users are required to verify their identity and pass a “psychology test” before browsing.

When a match is made, the app will introduce the two families in the presence of a service advisor. The advisor will accompany the couple for four years after their marriage.

友善讓你懂｜解說：

由於伊朗結婚年齡不斷上升、出生率則不斷下降，當局政府也對該現象發出警告。他們還推出一個國家批准、名為「Hamdam」的伊斯蘭交友軟體，以促進年輕族群的「持久婚姻」。

軟體開發者聲稱，該服務使用AI人工智慧來配對「想尋求長久婚姻的單身族」。用戶在使用前，必須先驗證身份，還要通過心理測驗。

當配對成功後，該服務會在顧問的見證下安排雙方家庭見面。彼此成功結婚後，該顧問也會在他們結婚後的四年裡「陪同」他們解決問題。

輕鬆帶著走｜學習：

rising（不斷上升的）與 declining（不斷下降的）很常出現在新聞英文中，用來表示某個現象或情況的數據變化。

例句：Young people have been affected by rising costs and declining wages. 年輕人深受物價上漲、薪水下跌的影響。
