The Muslim marriage app for Cologne.
Cologne and North Rhine-Westphalia have one of Germany's largest Muslim communities. Zawaj helps Cologne Muslims find a spouse in the Rhineland and beyond.
The heart of North Rhine-Westphalia.
North Rhine-Westphalia is home to a large share of Germany's Muslim population, with Cologne, Düsseldorf, Duisburg and Essen close together. Families often have deep roots in Turkey and other countries.
That means plenty of potential introductions, but also a lot of overlap between circles. Zawaj lets you search more widely and with more privacy.
Built for how Cologne Muslims actually search.
Cologne and beyond
Search in Cologne or widen your distance to other cities and countries. Zawaj is used by Muslims across Europe and worldwide.
Family involved, privacy protected
The Chaperone/Wali feature lets a parent or wali take part, and you can blur your photos so only the people you choose can see them.
A proposal, not a swipe
Interest starts with a written proposal. Conversation begins only once it is accepted, and voice or video calls follow after that.
Nikah and the law.
In Germany, only a civil marriage at the registry office (Standesamt) is legally binding. A religious ceremony alone has no legal effect. Many couples hold both. Ask your mosque about their requirements, and read is a nikah legally recognised.
Zawaj is a marriage app, not a legal service. Check the rules where you live before planning a nikah or a wedding. The app is available in English. See staying safe on marriage apps.
