How To Know Whether A Muslim Matchmaking Site Is Genuine

By Larry Hayes


There was little choice when it was time to marry in the Islamic world in the past. All a parent did was to bring a girl from your neighborhood and you were married officially. Today, people live away from parents. Getting staunch Muslims is also a challenge. Muslim matchmaking sites have come to provide a solution that creates an element of choice without diluting the Islamic values. You only need to identify a genuine site and be conscious of some of the mistakes to avoid in order to land a genuine partner.

It is possible to tell the credibility of a website from its features and thus establish whether you will get the help you need. Most sites come from free or trial features that give you a hint of what to expect. It is these features that can be used to test its credibility. Before subscribing to any service, test whether the free features guarantee privacy and security. This will give you green light to proceed or abandon the site.

The profile of a matrimonial site and people who are already members will tell you whether it is reliable. There are profile that contain details or content that is inappropriate and does not align to Islamic requirements. Such sites should be abandoned instantly because they will compromise your character and Islamic belief.

To establish the credibility of people registered at a website, you should compare or counter-check details like name and images with those on other platforms like social media. Scrutinize to establish the description they have given on other profiles. If the details tally, you have a reason to belief. If there is a discrepancy, you should consider the profile as fake and abandon the site.

To be productive in the use of matrimonial sites, it is advisable to set up a different email. Some may spam your inbox with unnecessary promotional materials that will get you irked. The email also helps you separate your social life and that of official business. It is especially important when you are using company emails and communications channels to avoid being flagged off or your emails being screened unnecessarily.

Be cautious when revealing your identity and contact to strangers. Before you divulge this information, it is important to conduct a thorough background check. It is especially sensitive to reveal your location or address and financial details. There are people out to take advantage of such information for other reasons. Your details may be used to hack into your account or con relatives and friends. Confirm that the person is trustworthy before divulging any information.

It is normal to come across fake profiles purporting to be genuine. Such profiles are established for criminal purposes. You should be cautious when dealing with anyone online. When something wrong has happened, it will be impossible to trace such a person. To keep off fraudsters, remain inquisitive and do not reveal your personal details haphazardly.

If the relationship gets to the point of one-on-one meeting, ensure that friends or family members are involved and make it a public place. In case such a person has ulterior motives, public places and the presence of other people will be a deterrent. Never share videos or pictures that may compromise your character or integrity.
