The Muslim marriage app for Newcastle.
Zawaj helps Muslims in Newcastle who are ready for marriage meet each other with clear intentions, with written proposals instead of swiping and your family involved when you choose.
A regional city with a close-knit community.
Newcastle and the Hunter region have a smaller but established Muslim community, including families and students at the University of Newcastle.
In a smaller community it is common to look further afield. Zawaj lets you reach serious Muslims across New South Wales and Australia.
Built for how Newcastle Muslims actually search.
Everyone is there for nikah
No casual dating and no endless swiping. Written proposals make it clear that people are serious.
Filters that matter
Search by practice, sect, background and location, in Newcastle or across Australia, so you can find someone who shares your priorities.
Family involved, your way
Once a proposal is accepted, talk by message, voice or video call, and bring your wali in with the Chaperone/Wali feature.
Looking beyond the city.
If you are open to meeting someone in Sydney or elsewhere, say so. Talk early about where you would live.
In Australia, a marriage is legally recognised when it is solemnised by an authorised celebrant and the notice and witness rules are followed. Many imams are authorised, so a nikah can also be the legal marriage. Our guide to legal recognition in Australia explains more.
