The Muslim marriage app for Detroit and Dearborn.
Metro Detroit has one of the oldest and most visible Muslim communities in America. Zawaj helps Muslims in Detroit, Dearborn and across Michigan meet someone who is ready for nikah.
Close-knit, with a wider world beyond it.
Dearborn and its neighbours are home to large Lebanese, Yemeni, Iraqi and Palestinian communities, while Hamtramck has a large Bangladeshi and Yemeni population, and Detroit has a long-established African American Muslim community.
In a community this tight, people often know each other’s families. Some like that. Others want a wider search with more privacy. Zawaj gives you both: serious intent, privacy controls, and family involvement when you choose it.
Built for how Detroit and Dearborn Muslims actually search.

Marriage licence and nikah in Michigan.
