Here are the Top Things you should know before ’marrying’ through Muslim Matrimonial website
Make sure they are for Muslims first! Pretty obvious right.
You'd be surprised as to how many are not just for Muslims. If you are Muslim, perfectly you would want to marry a Muslim, so having Non-Muslims on the site doesn't make sense right?
Well, financially it does, to them. Catch my drift.
Take a look at together, the general every sites, as well as the particular more religious niche websites.
What I mean is some Muslim matrimonial websites do adhere strictly to the Sharia (Islamic Law) and do not allow immediate messaging, winks, gifts, chat rooms and are pretty serious about marriage than other more liberal websites that do allow everything under the sun, and then some.
Choose where you want to be. The general websites with everyone or the niche websites with more like-minded individuals. The difference may be the number of members, with niche websites having less number of members. Only you know what is best for you or you can ask your parents, you are not a mama's boy if you take their suggestion in this. Although I could be wrong.
Make sure the site is from a trusted source or well recognized.
www.XYZ.com is possibly something you want to stay away from.
If you are going to pay for a little online, make sure it is secure people. That means that there should be a little 's' after the http or you should see a lock of some kind in the address bar. Sometimes the address bar is colored Green or Blue as well. This also depends on which browser you are using. Often too many people lose their identity by trusting non-secure websites.
Customer Service, I know some Muslim Matrimonial websites aren't known for their customer services, but if you are going to pay hard earned or borrowed cash, expect to be served with more than just a FAQ's page. A solid customer service desk or call center should be available to all the paid members.
I don't suggest going with the completely free Muslim Matrimonial websites. Does anything like that even exist.? Well if it does, steer clear. Nothing is free. Free means anyone and everyone, married or not married, joins the site, because it is FREE!
Not to mention a shower of ads and pop-ups. How else do they make money? Your generous Donations!
Research before you pay money. Just search on Google. If they are trustworthy, as they should be, then you should find some reviews, press releases or articles on the Internet about them.
Price! Our favorite yet most hated feature. Spending thousands of rupees every year can add up and for most of us who are still in college or recent graduates, money is scarce. Some of us have to save up to be poor. Get your money's worth!
Fake profiles, many matrimonial sites have these perfect beautiful people with a very interesting profiles that all look like to be interested in the newbie, you! Too good to be true? It possibly is many websites send messages to new registrants from these perfect profiles, in hopes that you sign up for their paid membership plans. How else are you going to reply back to Mr. or Ms. Right?. These are luring tactics that are used to maintain members as well as make a profit from fooling you.
Sign up on many Muslim Matrimonial website. In fact, sign up for a few. Not only will this make you more accessible on different networks, but it will also give you an idea of which website works best for you. In turn, you can decide where to spend your precious time and money.
Marriage is one of the major decisions that a person makes in a life. This decision has a direct and serious impact on the way future life of the person turns out to be and is also a main contributor to the happiness of both the partners involved in the relationship. After tying the matrimonial knot, the life of two people doesn't remain the same, therefore, the decision requirements to be taken after proper consideration.
Although these may or may not work, one thing that you can be sure will work is making dua to ALLAH (swt), to help you find someone that is best for you. After all, ALLAH (swt) is the main marriage planner, and has already planned your marriage in advance. No procrastination there! We just have to put in the effort and leave the rest up to ALLAH (swt).
