Rishta for overseas Pakistanis: find a spouse in Pakistan or abroad.
Whether you are in the UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, USA or Canada, Zawaj lets you search for a Pakistani spouse privately, at home or in the diaspora, with your family involved.
Born abroad, raised Pakistani, married where?
Families abroad often ask the same question: marry within the diaspora, or find someone in Pakistan? Each has trade-offs around culture, expectations, visas and where to settle. Many people want to consider both without committing to one.
Zawaj lets you search by location, so you can look in Pakistan, the UK, the Gulf, Canada and the US in one place, and take your time before your family gets involved.
