How To Know If A Muslim Matchmaking Site Is Genuine

By Larry Hayes


The traditional Muslim lived with parents and community and thus did not have a problem finding a spouse. With the assistance of parents, a good man or woman would be found and marriage arranged. Today, people living far from dominant Muslim communities and those looking for more choices have a huge challenge to surmount. This challenge has been lightened with the advent of Muslim matchmaking sites. The challenge is establishing the genuine ones and avoiding damaging mistakes while searching for a partner there.

The features of a website can help you determine how genuine or helpful it will be for your needs. An example is a site that provides free features before you join the subscription package. Experts suggest that you test the free features and focus especially on security and privacy. The results you obtain will tell you whether to proceed or not.

The site and people who subscribe to it have details provided on their profiles. Scan these profiles to establish whether they have inappropriate content. Should you unearth any such content, it is time to look elsewhere. Any compromise on Islamic principles means that even the other features of the website have compromised their features. Such compromises will expose you in the long run.

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.

There are elements that might hinder your productive use of matrimonial sites. An example is your email. Emails used at work are screened and might sieve emails coming from such a site. You might also not want to use an email that is accessible to anyone else because of privacy. Consider setting up a private mail from where you will receive all correspondence.

Do not reveal your contact details until you have conducted a thorough background check on the person. This also applies to financial information or where you live. It protects you from con men who take advantage of the revelation to siphon money or sell your information to third parties. Your accounts might also be hacked because of making such a revelation. Always test the trustworthiness of a person before sharing any information with him.

Fake profiles are the order of the day at matrimonial sites. These profiles exist with the aim of hacking and defrauding unsuspecting members. Remember that you do not know where that person lives or whether he is real. Inquire as much as possible and verify all information provided. Personal details must remain a secret to protect your character and integrity.

When it is time for a face to face meeting, ensure that it happens in public and in the presence of family members. This will protect you harm considering that you have never met the person you are planning for and have no idea about his or her character and identity. Avoid sending pictures or videos that are likely to compromise your integrity.
