The Muslim marriage app for women — safe, halal and on your terms.
We know that for a lot of Muslim women, the idea of "just download an app" comes with real hesitation — safety, privacy, family expectations, unwanted attention. This page is about how Zawaj tries to take that seriously.
Built so sisters feel genuinely comfortable.
We want Zawaj to be a place where women feel genuinely comfortable searching for a spouse, not outnumbered or overlooked. That means continuing to invest in verification, moderation, and features that put women in control of their own search — and it's an ongoing priority for us, not a box we've ticked.
Control, verification, and respect by default.
Verification & reporting
Verification and easy reporting tools help filter out non-serious or fake profiles before they become your problem.
You choose what to share
Nothing is visible until you decide to share it — you're in control of your profile, your photos, and your pace.
Proposals, not pressure
A proposal is a clear, respectful signal — not the endless, low-effort messaging that can come with swipe-based apps.
Bring your wali in whenever it feels right.
Many women on Zawaj involve a parent or wali from the very first conversation; others wait. Either way is completely normal — see our guide on involving your wali in your search for practical ways to do it. Be careful with marriage WhatsApp groups — here is why.

Questions sisters ask before joining.
What is the best dating app for Muslim women?
For Muslim women looking for marriage rather than casual dating, the best app is one with verification, reporting tools, control over your profile and room for your wali. Zawaj is built around exactly that — compare options in our guide to the best app for marriage.
Is Zawaj free for women?
Yes. Creating a profile, browsing and messaging matches is free for everyone. Gold and Boosts are optional extras.
Is Zawaj safe for women?
Profiles can be verified, anyone can be reported or blocked, and you decide what to share and when. Read our safety approach and tips on staying safe on marriage apps.
Can I hide or blur my photos?
Yes. You can blur your own photos so they are visible only to the people you choose, and every photo is moderated before anyone else can see it.
Is there a chaperone or wali feature?
Yes. Zawaj has a built-in Chaperone/Wali feature, so a trusted guardian can be part of the process if you want. Read more on our page about the wali and chaperone feature.
Is Zawaj a hijabi dating app?
Zawaj is a marriage app, not a dating app — but many hijabi sisters use it because everyone is there for nikah and you can filter by practice.
Can my wali be involved?
Yes. Many sisters involve a parent or wali from the first conversation; others bring them in later. Revert sisters can read our guide on finding a wali.
