How To Know If A Muslim Matchmaking Site Will Work For You

By Larry Hayes


Traditionally, Muslims used to get their spouses through their parents. They would organize for the best and well behaved partner in the neighborhood or within their circles. There were no chances of illicit relationships. The environment has changed today with the advent of Muslim matchmaking sites that give Muslims a chance to choose their partners. Online dating is a huge challenge and requires a lot of caution. How can you avoid the pitfalls lurking on these sites?

The credibility of a site can indicate to you whether you will get a quality partner or not. To test the integrity of a site, try the free features provided. They will give you an idea of what to expect in terms of security and privacy. If the two are compromised during trial, do not proceed with the site. It will get worse once you subscribe to their services.

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.

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.

The sites feature fake profiles that are used to siphon money and commit other social atrocities. Beware of their existence and take necessary precautions. It will be difficult to trace such a person in real life and especially if he commits a crime. Be inquisitive and counter-check any information provided to keep away fraudsters.

When it is time to meet your potential partner, play safe by involving friends and relatives. The meeting should be held at a public place where you are protected from harm. The idea is to forestall ulterior motives. Never send or chat inappropriately on videos or even share indecent photos that can be used to blackmail you.
