Frequently Asked Questions

Click the "Register" button, fill in your basic details (name, age, gender, what you're looking for), and upload a photo if you want. The whole thing takes about 2 minutes with no ID required. Once you submit, our team manually reviews your profile within a few hours, and you'll get an email when approved.

Most matrimony sites are flooded with fake profiles and scammers. By manually reviewing every profile, we keep those people out. Our team checks for fake info, inconsistent details, stock photos, and scam patterns before approving accounts.

You'll get an email with a link to log in. From there, you can browse other approved profiles, use filters to find matches, send interest, and message people who accept your interest. Everything is completely free with no premium plans or paywalls.

No, it's optional. You can skip the photo during registration and add it later. However, profiles with photos get way more responses. If you're worried about privacy, your photo is blurred by default and you control who sees it.

We use manual review instead of ID verification. Our team checks each profile for red flags: fake names, inconsistent details, stock photos, and scam patterns. Most scammers give up when they realize a human is actually checking their profile.

Absolutely. When you upload photos, they're blurred by default. Other members can see that you have photos, but they can't see the actual image until you approve them. You're in complete control of who sees what.

Yes, you can hide your profile from specific cities, neighborhoods, or even specific companies.

Read how our Privacy Controls work to learn how to hide from specific locations.

Click the "Report" button on their profile, or email us directly at info@azwaaj.com with details. We take reports seriously and remove fake accounts fast. We also ban their IP address so they can't just create another account.

Yes. If someone is bothering you, go to their profile and click "Ignore" or "Block." They won't be able to message you or see your profile anymore.

You can learn more about how blocking works on our safety page.

Go to the "Active Members" page. You'll see filters at the top: age range, location, religion, marital status, etc. Use these to narrow down your search. You can also search by specific cities or countries.

When you find someone you're interested in, you can send them "interest." It's like a like or a shortlist. They'll get a notification that you're interested. If they also send you interest back, you can start messaging each other.

Yes, definitely. You can filter by country, city, or region. Many of our members are diaspora looking for matches back home, or people open to moving abroad. Just use the location filters on the "Active Members" page.

It happens. Here are a few things that help:

• Upload a clear photo. Profiles with photos get way more responses.
• Fill out your profile completely. Add details about yourself and what you're looking for.
• Be specific about what you want. Vague profiles are hard to respond to.
• Send interest to people who match your criteria. Don't just wait for others to find you.

If you're still not getting responses after a few weeks, email us at info@azwaaj.com and we can give you personalized tips.

You can learn about the Profile Setup process. Once you join, you can edit your basic info, upload photos, and add details about your education and career from your dashboard.

Make sure your profile is as complete as possible—it helps you get better matches.

No, Azwaaj is open to adults of all faiths and backgrounds. While we started with a focus on Muslim matrimony, we welcome anyone who's serious about marriage. You can use filters to find people who share your religious or cultural values.

Yes, we support family involvement. You can link a Mehram's account so they can help you review matches. They can see your profile and the people you're interested in, but they can't message anyone directly or log in as you. Don't share your password.

Not at all. Many of our members are seeking a second marriage. You can state your marital status openly in your profile. Experience is respected here, not judged. We've had plenty of successful matches between people who've been through divorce or loss.

Yes, this is actually one of our strengths. Many diaspora members use Azwaaj to find matches who are open to relocating. You can state your long-term plans in your profile and use location filters to search for people in specific countries.

There's no catch. Azwaaj is completely free. No premium plans, no paywalls, no hidden fees. You can use all the features without paying anything. We believe marriage shouldn't be paywalled. We don't sell your data or offer paid matchmaker services.

No, we don't. Azwaaj is self-service only. You browse profiles, send interest, and message people yourself. We don't have agents or matchmakers who do it for you. We think this is better because you know what you want and should be the one making decisions.
