No swiping. No games. A structured path from salaam to nikah — verified profiles, your wali beside you, and compatibility that goes deeper than a photo.
The apps left you in an endless talking stage. Zewaj gives the search a shape — the same shape our parents and deen already taught us.
Every profile leads with deen, character, and life plans. Photos stay blurred until both of you express interest — and your wali is notified. Nobody browses faces here.
Every sister chooses how her wali participates. It is set at signup, visible on her profile, and respected by the system at every step.
Your wali follows conversations read-only. He sees what you see, when you see it. Quiet presence, full transparency.
Proposals reach your wali first. A conversation unlocks only after his approval. You talk; he guards the door.
All first contact goes to your wali. He screens, shortlists, and hands over only the candidates worth your time.
Ghosting is not a feature of the search. It is a failure of the platform. So we designed it out.
Most apps disappear the moment you match — that is when the real questions start. The Zewaj Guide walks with you through every chapter, from first salaam to nikah.
After a call or a family meeting, the Guide checks in: how did it feel, what surprised you, what do you want to ask next? Clarity compounds — guesswork doesn't.
If a conversation stalls, both sides get a gentle prompt to decide — proceed or part with salaam. Nobody is left wondering for weeks. Ghosting has a cost here.
When both families agree, the Guide shares a scholar-reviewed preparation path: the questions to settle before the contract — mahr, home, expectations, rights.
Selfie plus ID for every member. Sisters' photos are reviewed only by our all-women team. No review, no visibility.
Asking for money, pushing to leave the app, or mass-messaging triggers human review. Scammers are removed — and can't re-register.
Encrypted conversations. No human reads your words unless a report is filed. Your data is never sold — to anyone, ever.
The waitlist opens first in Addis Ababa and the diaspora. Sisters and their wali are reviewed first. Serious intentions only.
