This platform exists to make a halal introduction easier — not to replace family involvement, wali consent, or the Islamic marriage process itself. Here's how each feature reflects that intention.
Every profile on HaqMeher — for both brothers and sisters — must include a guardian's name, relationship, and contact details. When two members mutually accept interest, the guardian's contact is shared alongside, so the families can take the process forward together. We encourage every member, regardless of gender, to keep their wali informed from the very first interest sent.
Photos are hidden or blurred by default. Members must request permission to view a photo, and the profile owner decides whether to approve it. Messaging is disabled entirely until both sides accept an interest — there is no open inbox or public chat feature anywhere on the platform.
Rather than swiping or open messaging, members send a structured "interest" — similar to a formal expression of intent. This mirrors the deliberate, purposeful nature of seeking marriage in Islam, rather than casual browsing.
Mahr (dower) is a mandatory gift from the groom to the bride upon marriage, and a right established by the Qur'an: "And give the women [upon marriage] their bridal gifts graciously" (Qur'an 4:4). We include an optional field for Mahr expectations on every profile so this conversation happens transparently and early, rather than becoming an uncomfortable last-minute negotiation. HaqMeher does not set, suggest, or mediate Mahr amounts — that remains between the two families.
Our team reviews submitted ID documents and photos before a profile is published, and we act on reports of inappropriate behavior, including suspending accounts that violate our conduct guidelines.
HaqMeher is not a dating app, a matchmaking guarantee, or a substitute for consulting your family, your wali, or a knowledgeable local imam. We strongly encourage istikhara, family consultation, and meeting in the presence of a mahram before any commitment is made.
