A Muslim marriage app for women across the USA — on your terms.
Single, divorced, widowed or a convert: Zawaj gives American Muslim women a private, verified way to search for a husband, with your family involved as much or as little as you choose.
Control over who reaches you.
American Muslim women often search across cities and communities that do not overlap, with no single mosque or neighbourhood connecting them. A marriage app widens the pool without asking you to compromise on how you want to meet someone.
On Zawaj there is no swiping or liking. Interest arrives as a written proposal, so you can see who is serious, and you decide whether to reply. Voice and video calls only open after you accept.
Built around your comfort.
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 one tap away. Read more on our safety and privacy page.
If you want a family member or trusted person involved, the Chaperone/Wali feature lets them take part in the conversation. See Zawaj with a wali.
Single, divorced, widowed or a revert.
Some sisters are starting their first search. Others are searching again after a divorce, often with children, or after being widowed. Many are reverts who need support finding a wali. None of this needs to be explained away; being upfront on your profile helps you meet people who are comfortable with your situation.
For reverts without a Muslim family, see our guide to finding a wali. For divorced and widowed sisters, see remarriage for divorced and widowed Muslim women.
Find sisters and brothers near you.
Use the distance filter to search near home, or widen it to the whole country. See our pages for New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Los Angeles.
