How To Know Whether A Muslim Matchmaking Site Is Genuine

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 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 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.

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.

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 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.
