How To Know If 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.

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.

The profile of individuals within the site can be counter-checked against other platforms like social media and any other available data. You will be aided by images and corresponding descriptions. In case there are discrepancies in the information unearthed, know that the site did not conduct due diligence and will thus expose you to disappointment and con men or women.

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.

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.

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.

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.
