A Muslim marriage app for New Zealand.
From Auckland to Wellington, Hamilton and Christchurch, Zawaj helps New Zealand Muslims find a spouse for nikah, not casual dating, with the family involved.
A small, close community across two islands.
New Zealand’s Muslims include Fijian Indian, South Asian, Arab, Somali, Southeast Asian and Pacific communities, plus a growing number of converts, students and professionals.
With a small population spread over a long country, many people find it hard to meet someone suitable beyond their own circle. Zawaj widens the search across New Zealand, and abroad if you are open to moving.
A marriage app, not a dating site.
Proposals, not swiping
You send or receive a written proposal instead of a like, so intentions are clear from the first message. Involve your wali or family whenever you are ready.
Search your way
Filter by practice, sect, background and location, in your city or across New Zealand, and see who is open to relocating.
Verified and safe
Verification, photo blur and reporting tools help keep your search private and out fake profiles. Read how to spot fake profiles.
Nikah and the law in New Zealand.
A nikah is religiously valid when its conditions are met. To be legally married you generally also need a marriage licence and a ceremony performed by an authorised celebrant. Some imams are authorised; many are not, so couples often hold a short legal ceremony as well. Read our nikah in New Zealand guide.
