The Bay Area is home to a large, professional Muslim community. Zawaj helps Muslims in San Francisco, the East Bay and Silicon Valley find someone who is ready for nikah.
Busy careers, a stretched community.

Marriage licence and nikah in California.
California requires a marriage licence from the county clerk, and the ceremony must be performed by an authorised officiant. Many imams qualify, so the nikah and the legal marriage can be done together. Check the county clerk’s current rules.
Rules change, so confirm the current requirements before you set a date. Our guide to nikah in the USA explains how the religious and legal sides fit together.
