Here, a simple and elegant mechanism is proposed to resolve the problem of having a light scalar mediator for self-interacting dark matter and the resulting disruption to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at late times by the former’s enhanced Sommerfeld production and decay. The crucial idea is to have Dirac neutrinos with the conservation of U(1) or $$Z_N$$ lepton number extended to the dark sector. The simplest scenario consists of scalar or fermion dark matter with unit lepton number accompanied by a light scalar dilepton mediator, which decays to two neutrinos
