Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: June 30, 2026 | Last Updated: June 30, 2026

Who We Are (And What We're Not)

Let's be crystal clear about what Azwaaj is and what it isn't.

What We Are: A free online platform that provides tools for people to connect for the purpose of marriage. We give you a space to create a profile, browse other profiles, and message people you're interested in.

What We're Not: We are not a marriage bureau. We are not matchmakers. We do not arrange marriages. We do not guarantee you'll find a partner. We don't even guarantee you'll get responses.

The Platform Is "As Is": We provide Azwaaj without any warranties. We do our best to keep it running smoothly, but we can't promise it will always work perfectly or be free of bugs.

Who Can Use Azwaaj

Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years old. No exceptions. We verify this through birth year during registration.

Legal Capacity: You must be legally able to marry under the laws of your country. If your country has specific requirements (like parental consent for certain ages), that's on you to handle.

Genuine Intent Only: Azwaaj is for people serious about marriage. If you're here for dating, friendship, business networking, or just to chat, you're in the wrong place. We'll remove profiles that aren't marriage-focused.

One Account Per Person: You can only have one Azwaaj account. Multiple profiles will be deleted.

Your Account & Verification

Accurate Information: You agree to provide truthful information about yourself. Fake names, fake photos, fake education, fake job titles—if we catch you, your account gets removed. No warnings, no second chances.

Manual Review: Every profile goes through manual review by our team. We check for consistency, red flags, and scam patterns. We never ask for your CNIC, passport, or government ID upfront. If you want a "Verified" badge, you can optionally share career or family background details, but it's your choice.

Password Security: You're responsible for keeping your password safe. Don't share it with anyone (not even family members—use the Mehram linking feature instead). If you suspect someone has accessed your account, contact us immediately.

Your Conduct on Azwaaj

You agree NOT to do any of the following:

• Harass or abuse other members. This includes threats, insults, stalking, or persistent unwanted messages.
• Share private information without consent. Don't post someone else's photos, phone number, address, or personal details without their permission.
• Upload offensive or illegal content. No explicit images, no hate speech, no copyrighted material you don't own.
• Scrape or misuse data. Don't copy member profiles, photos, or information for use outside Azwaaj. This includes using bots or automated tools.
• Ask for or send money. Azwaaj is free. If someone asks you for money, gift cards, or financial help, they're likely a scammer. Report them immediately.
• Impersonate others. Don't pretend to be someone else, including celebrities or public figures.

Consequences: If you break these rules, we'll warn you, suspend your account, or permanently remove it. Since Azwaaj is free, there are no refunds to worry about.

Privacy & Your Data

Your use of Azwaaj is also governed by our Privacy Policy. Please read it—it explains exactly what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Key Points:

• Your photos are blurred by default until you approve someone to see them.
• You can hide your profile from specific cities or companies using our Privacy Controls.
• You can delete your account and data in one click.
• We don't sell your data to third parties.

Your Responsibility: Don't share sensitive personal information (like your home address, bank details, or national ID number) in your bio or chats until you fully trust the person you're talking to.

Content You Post

You Own Your Content: The photos, text, and information you upload belong to you. By posting on Azwaaj, you give us a limited license to display it on the platform. We won't use your content for advertising or sell it to others.

Your Responsibility: You must have the right to share any photo or text you upload. Don't post photos of other people without their permission. If someone reports that you've posted their content without consent, we'll remove it.

Safety & Third-Party Interactions

We Can't Control Other People: Azwaaj provides the platform, but we can't control how other members behave. We manually review profiles to catch scammers, but no system is perfect.

Your Safety Is Your Responsibility:

• Meet in public places for first meetings.
• Involve a trusted family member or friend if you're uncomfortable.
• Use video calls before meeting in person.
• Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it probably is.
• Report suspicious behavior immediately using the block and report features.

Limitation of Liability: We are not liable for any disputes, losses, or harm arising from your interactions with other members, whether on or off the platform. You interact with other members at your own risk.

Mehram Feature Terms

If you choose to link a Mehram's account (father, brother, uncle) to help you review matches:

• You're Responsible: You chose to link this person. You're responsible for what they see and do through your account connection.
• They Can't Message: Your Mehram cannot message other members on your behalf. They can only view and advise.
• You Can Unlink Anytime: You can remove the Mehram connection from your Profile Settings at any time.

Fees & Changes to Terms

Azwaaj Is Free: Currently, Azwaaj is completely free. If we ever introduce paid features, we'll notify you at least 30 days in advance. You can delete your account anytime before changes take effect.

Updates to These Terms: We may update these Terms occasionally. When we do, we'll change the "Last Updated" date at the top. If the changes are significant, we'll email you or show a notice on the site. Continued use of Azwaaj after changes means you accept the new Terms.

Termination

You Can Delete Anytime: You can delete your account from Settings at any time. We'll remove or anonymize your data within 30 days, except where required by law.

We Can Terminate: We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent behavior, or to protect other users and the platform. We'll try to notify you first, but we reserve the right to act immediately in serious cases.

Intellectual Property

All Azwaaj branding, logos, design, and software are our property. You can't copy, reuse, or redistribute them without written permission from us.

Limitation of Liability & Governing Law

Liability Cap: To the maximum extent allowed by law, Azwaaj's total liability for any claim is limited to zero, because the service is provided free of charge.

Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of Pakistan. Any legal disputes will be handled in the courts of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.
