SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A California man in the
process of getting a divorce said on Monday he was
suing a popular online dating service that barred him
from joining until his marriage is officially over.

John Claassen, a 36-year-old lawyer, said he was ready
to resume dating but maintains that Pasadena,
California-based agency eHarmony is violating his
civil rights by not letting him use its service before
his divorce is official.

The Oakland, California-based lawyer said he is asking
a state judge to end eHarmony's policy of only
admitting unmarried people to its dating service.
"There are a lot of people out there in my situation
who would like to move on but under these policies
can't," Claassen said.

The company, which advertises it is "dedicated to
helping serious singles build lasting relationships,"
did not return calls for comment.

Claassen said his lawsuit is based on a state law
requiring businesses to disregard a person's marital
status in the provision of services.

I'm serious, the founder was on a talk show and said to keep from getting sued that they did background checks so that they could keep people honest.
