For sisters — Muslim women seeking marriage, safely

Everything on this platform starts closed and opens only when you decide. Your photos are locked and are served through short-lived private links to people you have accepted — they never sit on a public address that can be shared or saved by a stranger. Your phone number is never shown. Sisters do not appear to other sisters, and your profile is excluded from search engines, the public community feed and the directory.

Nobody can start a conversation with you. A brother can send a connection request; you see it, and nothing else happens unless you accept. If you would rather not be visible at all for a while, you can hide your profile and restore it later without losing anything.

Your wali is not an afterthought here. You can record his details on your profile, and because a proposal only becomes real when you accept a connection request, you have something concrete to bring to your family at exactly the right moment — rather than a months-old private conversation you now have to explain.

If you are a revert, or your family is not in a position to act, an imam can normally take on the wali role. Speak to your local masjid early; having that settled before you start looking removes a real source of pressure. Our guide on the wali covers who can act, what his role is, and what happens if a wali refuses without valid reason.

Search by practising level, prayer regularity, sect, ethnicity, nationality, country of residence, city, education, profession and marriage timeline. Read a brother's full profile — his deen, family situation, what he is looking for and how soon he wants to marry — before you decide whether to engage at all.

Look past the profile at the things that predict a good marriage: how he speaks about his mother and sisters, whether his answers are consistent, whether he welcomes your family's involvement, and whether he is willing to be checked. Our guides on the qualities of a good spouse and the red flags to watch for are written specifically for this stage.

Keep your home address, workplace and financial details private until a proposal is genuinely serious and your family is involved. Meet only with a mahram or chaperone present, or in an open public place with your family aware. Do not send money to anyone, for any reason, before nikah — requests of that kind are a known pattern and should end the conversation.

If someone behaves inappropriately, block and report rather than simply disengaging. Reports are reviewed by the admin team, and your identity and photos remain protected throughout.

There is no pressure here to respond quickly, to keep a conversation alive, or to justify a no. A clear, kind refusal is a favour to everyone involved, and you never owe anyone an explanation for it.

Equally, if you need to step away — because of exams, work, family, or simply because the process is tiring — hide your profile and come back later. Nothing is lost.
