DateKhaas is committed to creating a safe environment for Muslim families seeking marriage. Here are important guidelines for when you decide to take the conversation from online to in-person.
Before Meeting
- Involve your family from the start. Share your interest with your parents or guardian. In Islam, marriage is a union between families, not just individuals.
- Verify their profile. Look for the blue verified badge on their profile. This means they have submitted government ID that our AI has confirmed.
- Video call first. Before meeting in person, have a video call. This helps confirm the person is who they say they are.
- Do not rush. Take your time chatting and getting to know each other. A genuine person will be patient.
During the Meeting
- Meet in a public place. Always choose somewhere public like a restaurant, hotel lobby, or community center. Never agree to meet at a private residence for the first meeting.
- Bring a chaperone. Ideally, have a family member or your Wali present. This is not only Islamically appropriate but also a safety measure.
- Tell someone where you are going. Share the meeting location and time with a trusted family member or friend.
Red Flags to Watch For
- They refuse to video call or always have excuses for not showing their face.
- They ask for money or financial help before meeting.
- They pressure you to meet alone without any family involvement.
- They share inconsistent stories about their life, job, or family.
- They get angry or aggressive when you ask normal questions.
