A Muslim marriage app built with women's safety and comfort in mind.
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.
Improving our gender balance is something we're actively working on.
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.
