+There is also a `:case_sensitive` option that you can use to define whether the
+confirmation constraint will be case sensitive or not. This option defaults to
+true.

+```ruby
+class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+  validates :email, confirmation: { case_sensitive: false }
+end

 The default error message for this helper is _"doesn't match confirmation"_.
