The Muslim marriage app for Oldham.
Zawaj helps Muslims in Oldham who are ready for marriage meet each other with clear intentions, with proposals instead of swiping and your family involved when you choose.
A close-knit community on the edge of Manchester.
Oldham has long-established Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities, with Glodwick, Werneth and Westwood among the areas where many Muslim families have lived for generations. Mosques, madrasas and family networks are central to community life.
Marriage searches here often start with family and the local mosque. That works well for many, but networks can be small, and people who study or work in Manchester often find their circle of suitable introductions is wider than their parents’ one. An app lets you widen the search while keeping your family involved.
Built for how Oldham Muslims actually search.
