A man separated from his wife but not quite divorced is suing a popular online matchmaker for refusing to help him find a date.I think eHarmony might lose, and here's why.
John Claassen, a 36-year-old lawyer from Emeryville, filed a lawsuit alleging eHarmony abridged his civil rights by refusing to match him up. He said the company, which has an "unmarried only" policy, broke California state law by discriminating against him based on his marital status.
California has no-fault divorce, abolished its heartbalm torts, and decriminalized adultery. Therefore, there's no legal reason why a service couldn't enable adulterers, either technical or actual. eHarmony's preferences, and even its market research, must bow to California law.
Now, I think it's pretty unfortunate that California law likely prevents dating services from refusing to abet philanderers. But, as Solzhenitsyn said, in America we confuse what's legal with what's moral, and try to draw the boundaries of moral no farther than the law.

It is absolutely not the only online matchmaking service.
Should I be allowed to sue a Gay matchmaking service for not admitting heterosexuals to its list?

I checked. It does.
Evidently, under California's Unruh Civil Rights Act as amended last year, all businesses are forbidden from discriminating on the basis of marital status.It's Cal. Civ. Code § 51(b) that includes marital status, and Cal Civ. Code § 51.5(a) that includes:(emphasis mine). You can check for yourself, but there are no caveats to this provision within in the Unruh Act.
