The Muslim marriage app for Kerala.
Kerala has a large and well-organised Muslim community, with many families connected to the Gulf. Zawaj helps Malayali Muslims, at home and abroad, meet someone ready for nikah.
A strong community with Gulf ties.
Malayali Muslims are concentrated in Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur, Thrissur and Kochi, and a large share of families have members working in the Gulf. Marriage is often arranged within family and community circles, and matchmaking groups are common.
With so many members of the family abroad, a search that crosses borders is normal. Zawaj lets you search across Kerala, India and the Gulf, with privacy and family involvement you control.

Nikah and registration in India.
