Marriage, guided by faith and family.
A matchmaking app built for the Shia community — where intentions are declared openly, privacy is the default, and families are welcome in the process.
Search for yourself, or search for your child.
Families look for marriage in different ways. ShiaFamily supports both, without forcing either into the other's shape.
Adult Connect
You manage your own profile, your own conversations, and your own decisions — with the option to loop in a wali whenever you're ready.
Wali & Family Connect
A parent or guardian builds and manages the profile, reviews matches, and mediates introductions between families first.
Four steps, no guesswork.
Affirm your faith, your intention, and the truthfulness of your profile before you enter.
Manage your own profile, or set it up as a parent or guardian on your child's behalf.
Ethnicity, education, hijab, nikah readiness, relocation, wali involvement, distance.
Message directly, or request a family-mediated introduction — your choice of path decides.
Why Discover has daily limits. To keep browsing intentional instead of a swipe-fest, each member gets 15 profile views and 5 likes per day. It resets every 24 hours — quality over quantity, on purpose.
Private until you decide otherwise.
Your pictures stay blurred to others until you explicitly turn visibility on.
Pause your visibility in Discover with one tap — no need to delete your account.
Available on every profile card and inside every conversation.
Full account and data deletion built in, in line with GDPR and CCPA.
Everyone here has made the same promise.
Before anyone reaches a single profile, they affirm three things: that they follow or sincerely seek this tradition, that their intention is lawful marriage alone, and that everything on their profile is true.
"And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever questioned."
Deceit about faith or intention means immediate removal from the platform. We take that seriously, because marriage deserves it.
Start with a sincere intention.
