Halal matrimony in Melbourne, without the dating-app compromise
Melbourne's Muslim community sits in a handful of very distinct pockets: the northern corridor through Broadmeadows, Coburg and Preston; the south-east around Dandenong and Noble Park; and the fast-growing west out past Werribee and Tarneit. Families here tend to be tight, and marriage is very much a family matter — which is exactly why so many Melbourne Muslims quietly refuse to go anywhere near a mainstream dating app.
Zawaj™ gives you a way to look that doesn't require you to hide it from anyone. It lives inside Alkasa, and it is built around the wali rather than around a chat window. Her guardian's details are attached to her profile from the start, there is no messaging between a brother and a sister at any point, and a match hands you his number so the first conversation happens between families.
