Tired of Muzz, Tinder, and the aunties?

On Muzz you pay just to maybe get a reply. On Zawji every profile is reviewed by a real person, not an algorithm. Auto-filter blocks private numbers and photos directly in chat. Admin reviews flagged messages daily. No pay-per-message. No swiping. Wali is welcome. And: a curated platform with a real person behind it, not a faceless global app.

A sittning (Swedish word, used by Nordic Muslims) is a structured family meeting before nikah. The couple meets in the presence of the wali (the sister's male guardian — father, brother, or another close male relative) and usually other family members. The purpose: get to know each other honestly, ask questions about deen, values, future plans — without haram mixing, without dating dynamics. On Zawji, you reach sittning only when the sister shares her wali's number in the chat and the brother calls wali himself. Everything aligned with Islamic law: the woman consents, the man shows seriousness, the families are involved.

A wali is the sister's male guardian in the nikah process — usually her father. If the father is absent, non-Muslim, or unsuitable, the role passes (in order) to: grandfather, brother, paternal uncle, maternal uncle, or a trusted Muslim man. Converts without Muslim family can use a local imam as wali. The wali's role: protect the sister's interests, approve the nikah, attend the sittning. He NEVER calls you first — the brother calls wali directly when the sister shares the number in chat. At the nikah ceremony itself, wali formally says 'I give her in marriage to you' with the sister's consent.

If both parties and families feel it's right: the next step is nikah (the Islamic marriage contract). Between sittning and nikah you'll often have 1-3 more family meetings — to discuss mahr, housing, future plans, and let both families get to know each other. Timeline varies: some go from first sittning to nikah within 4-6 weeks; others take 3-6 months. All fine according to Islamic law. Zawji does NOT follow you after the sittning — it's the families' process. We're available for support via email if you have questions.

You create a profile (5 min) → admin reviews daily → you browse and chat privately with matches (auto-filter blocks numbers and photos instantly; admin reviews flagged). When the match gets serious, the sister shares wali's number in chat — the brother calls wali himself to arrange a sittning with both families. The full path from profile to sittning typically takes 3-6 weeks. You set the pace.

Yes, the chat is private between you — but never unsupervised. Auto-filter blocks private numbers, emails, and photos instantly; flagged messages are reviewed daily by admin. Wali enters when the sister chooses — she shares his number in chat, and the brother calls wali directly. Wali is never on the app, but involved at sittning and nikah. This is how Zawji keeps the chat halal: protected under oversight, wali on the sister's signal, families involved at the right moment.

Yes. Zawji is built according to the Quran and Sunnah. No phone numbers or private photos can be shared outside of Zawji's chat flow. Automatic filtering blocks instantly and admin reviews flagged messages daily. Photos are optional, hidden by default and always admin-reviewed. You choose who sees yours. Wali is welcome in the marriage process. Admin acts as a digital trusted third party, just like at traditional matchmaking.

Absolutely! Wali involvement is strongly encouraged. You don't need to provide a wali at registration, but when a match becomes serious, the sister shares wali's number in the chat. The brother calls wali himself — that's his proof of seriousness. Then the families arrange the sittning. Admin is not at the sittning but is available if you need support.

Yes. We follow GDPR (the EU data protection regulation). Your data is stored in Sweden with Supabase. Only admin can see your profile — it is not publicly searchable. We never share data with third parties and never sell your data. You can delete everything at any time.

You can delete your profile any time — no questions, no conditions. Or pause it. You have full control. No subscription that keeps ticking, no "premium" you have to cancel.

Right now Zawji costs nothing. We plan premium features for brothers during 2026 — early-bird pricing for existing members. We communicate pricing transparently before anything is charged — no surprises, no pay-per-message like Muzz.
