Muslima alternatives for marriage
Muslima has been around since 2006 and runs on the web and in apps. If you want the wali and your family in the process, and your photos private until you choose, here is how Wali Marriage and others compare.
What is a Muslima alternative for marriage?
Muslima is a long-running Muslim dating site from the Cupid Media network. If you want your family involved and your photos private, Wali Marriage is an app where a woman's wali approves before a conversation opens and her photos stay hidden until she chooses. Muzz, Salams and Pure Matrimony are other options.
Wali Marriage is an app, not a browsing site: you read one profile at a time, a woman's verified wali approves before a conversation opens and can read it, and her photos stay hidden until she chooses one person to show them to.
