How A Muslim Matchmaking Service Can Benefit The Women

By Kenneth Patterson


Most adults who have attempted to traverse the world of online dating wind up seriously disappointed. Not only are many of the female profiles fake, but a great many of the males who actively pursue women in this way are already married or partnered. It might seem impossible to many of us, but some young women are actually benefiting from an online Muslim matchmaking service.

Because marriage is held out not only as an important aspect of culture, but an only option for young people, these sites are always geared toward matrimony. Casual dating or clandestine meetings are not the usual fare for such websites. Marriage is the intention of those who actually make a connection.

Many followers of this faith are largely isolated in Western society. In a world where they might not even want coworkers and friends to know their religious practice, meeting others is nearly impossible. As a result, the families of young people have taken an all-too-active role in helping their younger members meet potential mates.

Because of the seriousness of marriage in their culture, a new online oasis has been created. This allows young people to make connections outside family, with people their parents are likely to approve of. Not only that, but it has created a world where women are able to have greater power over who they might want to spend time, and possibly the rest of their lives with.

Unfortunately, the parents and grandparents are still very skeptical about the online method of meeting people. There are certainly dangers inherent to such a meeting, and both women and men are taking a risk. The truth is that when people meet online they do not truly know who they are speaking to.

Safety is always going to be a concern when people meet online, and these dating sites are no less risky than any others when it comes to that fateful first meeting. The Internet allows a person to be dishonest about who they are and what they intend in a variety of ways. However, with new services such as video chatting, these dangers are somewhat lessened by the fact that they get to meet before their meeting.

Followers of Islam in Western countries have found these websites are sometimes the only method available for meeting others without family involvement. The same is true to a lesser extent of Jewish families, who often require their children to marry within their faith. Having sites that specialize in a certain group of people has shown much greater promise than simply searching for those of a particular religion on traditional sites.

Such websites is a gift for Islamic women, who have so often been denied the power to make real choices for themselves. Not only can they meet individuals without family involvement, but those men they meet are very likely to meet any expectations their parents might have. Rather than having to say yay or nay about men their parents present, they get to make real choices about what sort of man they would even want to know.
