Marriage

Hi
I am a Muslim girl and have been struggling to get married as I don’t want to date. I am 23 and looking to settle down soon. I am feeling hopeless at the moment and don’t know if I can ever get married to a decent, practising Muslim man. As the number of genuine men that are serious and haven’t had a past, are very limited!

What do I do?

Hi, have you asked your family and friends if they have anybody they could set you up with? Maybe try and go to a social place that includes other Muslims and try getting to know more people there! I'm sure it will happen sooner or later, try not to rush into it! Good luck!

Muzmatch or similar apps
Friends of friends
I know someone who got married to their friends wife's friend

Also maybe lower your expectations - just because someone's had a past doesn't mean they can't change, they could be more religious than you

Hi, my family aren’t well known in the community and the people that they know aren’t the practicing type that I would consider nor are they that religious. That makes it a whole lot harder... I was active in social groups and joined the isoc at uni... but didn’t come across anyone . I hope to join a sisters circle soon and want to teach part time in the mosque so I can widen my social circle.
Thank you!

I’m 17 but I’m scared that I’ll never find anyone. Most Muslims ‘date’ nowadays but I don’t think it’s right or a lot of people find eachother through social media but I don’t post on social media. Just remember that everything we go through is the will of Allah so maybe the fact that you haven’t found a husband yet is a good thing. It gives you time to truly find the right person for you and when you do, inshAllah, you’ll he glad you found someone through struggle than with ease.

I haven’t heard great things from Muzmatch tbh

As for expectations, I hardly have high expectations. Not looking for anyone with a 6 figure salary or anything materialistic. Just want the basics of having strong faith and morals. Don’t think that’s too much to ask.
