"I was skeptical at first. When I was ready, I shared my wali's number — the brother called him directly. That showed seriousness."
— Sister, 26, on Zawji
Quick answers
Do I need to involve my wali from the start?+
No. You can browse profiles, send and receive match-requests, and chat privately without your wali knowing anything. When you're ready to take it seriously, you share his number in chat. The brother calls him directly. The timing is yours.
What photos are on Zawji?+
None. There are no profile photos in the system. No photos can leak. You're judged on your deen, your values, and your goals — not your appearance.
Can a brother contact me without my consent?+
No. He can only send a match-request. The chat opens only when you accept. No private contact reaches your inbox unless you choose.
How are messages moderated?+
Auto-filter blocks private phone numbers, emails, and images instantly. Admin reviews flagged messages personally — every day. No bot responses. No fakes.
Am I the only sister here?+
No. Hundreds of sisters are active across many countries. The majority are in Sweden today, but the platform is open globally — anyone serious about nikah can join.
