Muslim doctors and healthcare workers: finding a spouse with a busy schedule.
Long training, night shifts and relocation make it hard to meet someone through the usual routes. Zawaj helps Muslim doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals find a serious match for nikah.
Medicine does not wait for marriage.
Between medical school, residency and fellowship, many Muslim doctors reach their thirties before they have time to look. Rotations, match results and relocation can change where you live from year to year.
It helps to say so openly. Be honest about your schedule and where you may be based, and look for someone who understands that life.
A search that fits a hospital schedule.
With Zawaj you can read and send proposals when you have a free minute, with no swiping and no pressure to reply instantly. You choose your practice, location and what matters to you, and family can join with the Chaperone/Wali feature. It is free to join on iOS and Android.
Talk about the practicalities.
Where will each of you work? How will you handle on-call and night shifts? Will one of you move for training? What are the expectations about children and family? See questions to ask before nikah and early conversations about expectations.
