A Muslim marriage app for professional women in the UK.
Doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers and entrepreneurs: if you are building a career and want a husband who respects it, Zawaj gives you a private, serious way to search without the pressure.
Busy, capable, and still searching.
Many British Muslim women put years into studying and building a career, and then find the marriage search has to fit around shifts, exams and deadlines. Family introductions can feel rushed or mismatched to your goals, and events rarely fit a busy schedule.
Zawaj lets you search at your own pace. Interest comes as a written proposal, so you are not managing a flood of messages, and you choose when to reply.
Say what you want, clearly.
You can be open about your career, your expectations about work after marriage, and where you want to live. Being clear early helps you meet people who are comfortable with it, and saves time on both sides. See our guide to early conversations about expectations and balancing deen and dunya.
If you are over 30, you are far from alone. Read finding a husband in your 30s and 40s.
Keep your search separate from your work.
Professionals often prefer not to be visible to colleagues, patients or clients. On Zawaj you can blur your photos and share more only when you choose. Photos are moderated, profiles can be verified, and reporting and blocking tools are built in. See safety and privacy.
The Chaperone/Wali feature lets a parent or wali take part when you are ready.
Search near work or near home.
Use the distance filter to search near where you live or where you work. See our pages for London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and Newcastle, or read about Muslim professionals.
