Adults who are who they say
Before anyone can be introduced, they complete a hosted identity check with a document, a selfie and a liveness check. Age is taken from the verified date of birth, and only adults are ever introduced.
Nobody on display
There is nothing to browse and no public profile. Strangers cannot message you, and you cannot message them. Photos are optional, and are shown only after both people agree.
A wali is present
Every woman has a wali, or another trusted Muslim adult she names, in the conversation before it opens. They can read all of it whenever they like. Nobody is watching live, and I will never say otherwise.
Words only
A conversation is text. There is no way to send pictures or files, and there are no voice or video calls.
Report, block and leave
You can report or block anyone you are introduced to, privately. If two different members report or block the same person, that account stops taking part straight away until I have read what happened.
A declined, closed or blocked introduction is never made again, even if someone deletes their account and signs up again. You can pause new introductions, or delete your account yourself, at any time.
What no website can promise
No system can promise that everyone is honest. Take your time, involve your family in the way you would anywhere else, never send money to someone you have been introduced to, and tell me about anything that feels wrong. I read every report myself.
