How taaruf works on NikahMe

Four steps, from sending the link to the point where a coordinator takes the conversation forward.

You create the link yourself and send it only to people you choose. They see the basic layer first.

This is not a dating app

We cut what turns this into a game, and kept the structure that brings two families to the table

  • swiping through photos

    Information that matters for a decision

    Religious approach and life circumstances, before photos.

  • private in-app chat

    Conversation through a coordinator

    Through a coordinator each side trusts, with the family aware.

  • a feed to scroll through

    A share link you create yourself

    Sent only to people you choose. Set an expiry, close it any time.

Those three are the part we handle. We do not carry a marriage from start to finish. What comes after belongs to you, your family, and the coordinator you choose.

What trust here rests on

We do not vet people for you. We make where trust comes from checkable, in layers.

  1. The link came from someone you know

    A profile only reaches you through the person who sent it, so you always know its source.

  2. Asking around, as you would anyway

    The questions and conversations you would have however you met.

  3. A verification badgeoptional

    An extra layer, for cases that want a statement from a verifier who already knows the profile owner.

    It is not a NikahMe verification, and it does not guarantee the profile owner's character or suitability.

How badges are checked

Frequently asked questions

Short, direct answers that match how the system actually works. For anything else, reach us through the official channels below.

Who can see my profile?

Only people you send a link or code to directly. There is no search page and no feed suggesting anyone to anyone. Detailed fields like birthdate and province are automatically reduced to an age range and a region.

So when do we actually see each other?

You will, and at a point that makes your decision sounder. Here you get to know the other person's real self first, their religious approach, intentions, and life circumstances, before appearance can cloud the decision. Once you have seen enough and are genuinely interested, you take it forward yourself, and meeting in person happens off the platform, through a channel the family is aware of, in line with the guidance to see each other before marriage.
