How A Muslim Matchmaking Service Can Benefit The Women

By Kenneth Patterson


Anyone who has investigated any of the thousands of dating sites online knows just how sketchy they really are. Not only are most of the female profiles completely fake, but a vast multitude of the men who operate active profiles are either married or in what their woman thinks is a committed relationship. So, it stands to reason that some might wonder if there is any real benefit for Islamic women venturing into a 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.

Most of the world views Islam with some distrust, and for this reason it is very difficult for those living in Western nations to meet others of their faith. Traditionally, families have taken an active role in attempting to match their children with potential mates. This can be both embarrassing and stressful for everyone involved.

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.

For many young people in the West, it is just about the only way they can meet people likely to please their families. The same can be said of Jewish families, and there are also Jewish as well as Christian services available. These are usually a better plan than simply searching traditional sites to find individuals of their faith, since so many of the people on mainstream sites are not who they claim to be.

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.
