Single muslim to find marriage in any western country is difficult. Personally my self as a young muslim have struggled…. even with my handsome looks I think people have resulted to trying different techniques to come across other muslims. There are social groups and I even tried online marriage websites… last one i tired was free shaadi which was okay. Nice thing about islam as well is you do have family introductions which a few of my friends have benefited from. Who knows what the future holds. Allah kareem.

I want to agree with the above comment by sol…… Its a strong comment but the strength of the pain that comes with the alternative is stronger.Muslims must become more outgoing and honest and earn the freedom they are appointed by allah…. Im talking to muslim girls who are duped by a false responsibility to all but allah when they get married. Stop hiding behind your hijabs. this hiding is the hiding of cowards.

Muslims are in an error so manifest that it is relogating them to the ignorance of the arab days before islam. Marriage to these people has become a process void of any integrity, value or meaning. The idea of marriage amongst 99% of muslims is a practice not that distinguishable from entering a brothel and choosing your sexual partner. the small difference is that the partner who in islams case is usually chosen for you must remain your sexual partner for good.I say hail the brothel in this instant…. muslims wake up.

I don’t think this is the right time to condemn or argue on much ado about nothing. The problem has been identified, fine! Then there must be a solution, too. For every problem, Allah has, as well, prepared a solution. Of course we might still be searching for that solution. Let not start criticizing ourselves. Site engineers and programmers should be wary of these accusations and try to give full and detailed private policies when writing their programs. May God bless us all.

I strongly disagree with your point MR. It’s entriely up to the person how he uses (or abuses) those matrimonial websites. I personally found my other half through muslima.com and have been living happily since then alhamdulillah. Every one and everything in this dunya has shortcomings…

salams

A few thoughts:

1.) I kindly disagree with MR on whether Facebook is better than these websites or not – because essentially they are the same. The amount of details you get from Muslima.com or Facebook.com is dependent on what the person decided to put up about themselves, whether it be visual or written details.

2.) All websites have various degrees of photo control, and even then its really up to the individual (man or woman) what to put up. If you’re a muhajjabah, then you’ll put up hijabiified pics of yourself as you are out in public, of course.

3.) I’ve been on plenty of those sites before, I have indeed come across quality people and matches, so they definitely exist. I know plenty of people personally who are on those sites as well. And out of the six-and-something billion people in the world, there are six-and-something billion different personalities. You find out a lot about people by reading what they’ve written about themselves, what personality profile they fit into – in fact a former site MuslimMatrimonialsNetwork (MMN) which I believe is now folded into Muslima.com, it had Dr. Hartmann’s color personality profile available for free for every member and it was freakishly accurate, in fact I’d say its hands down one of the most accurate personality profile tests out there. You just can’t get that on Facebook.

4.) People join for all sorts of reasons. Some people, like me, join because we like having multiple access routes for finding a suitable partner. Although I live in the Toronto area which is one of the four biggest Muslim population centers in North America, that cannot be the only market I look in for a prospective spouse. Why should I deny myself all the other major cities and population centers? So of course, I’m gonna go through the aunty networks, the professional connections, the family and friends networks (which includes Facebook), I’ll go through the matchmaking services – both personally tailored ones and generic one like the matrimonial sites. Its just straight up statistics. I have a better chance of finding more suitable matches if I use all available options, rather than restricting the pool to just one or two areas / options.

5.) Some profiles are not serious at all, in fact I’ve come across plenty of profiles where the pic was of a sister that I personally know, but the profile was completely different location, personality, everything. i.e. – someone had lifted her pic from somewhere [either another matrimonial site or facebook] and then posted it on that profile, pretending to be her or just using that pic instead of their own. God alone knows their full intentions.
