Instagram DMs — no privacy, no seriousness, no family in the room.

Word of mouth — the circle is smaller here than back home.

Somali Marriage is something else.

For sisters

Sister, uncertain?

We built this platform around your questions.

  • None are required. If you choose to add a photo, you control who sees it — nothing is shown without your active consent.

For brothers

Brother, wondering how this works?

The honest answers, including the ones that are not flattering.

  • Usually under an hour. Your profile passes an automated safety check and then goes live on its own — nobody has to approve you by hand. If a friend invited you, it is faster still.

Four things that make Somali Marriage different.

Every profile is checked.

You only meet people who are serious.

Each profile passes an automated safety check before it goes live.

Members are never shown publicly.

No public profiles. No audience.

Your profile lives inside the platform — never on the open web.

Walis welcomed from the first step.

Your family can be in the room from day one.

Sisters choose when and how their wali is involved — the platform is built for it.

You control who sees you.

Nothing is shared without your consent.

Sisters: your profile is shown only to those you approve.

Security

Your profile. Your control.

Five building blocks that protect you — from registration to nikah.

  • No photos required

    If you add one, you choose who sees it. Nothing is shown without your consent.

  • Never public

    Your profile never appears on the open web — it lives inside the platform only.

  • GDPR + EU hosting

    Data stored within the EU. Delete whenever — no questions asked.

  • Wali flow built in

    You choose when and how your family joins. The platform is built for it.

  • Screened profiles

    Every profile passes a safety screen before it goes live. Report behaviour — a person reads it and we act.

Common questions.

Free for sisters, always — chat included. Joining, browsing, sending and receiving interest cost nothing for anyone. Brothers pay once for the private chat — 699 kr for three months, 1499 kr for a year, or 3999 kr for life — and inviting 10 brothers earns a month free. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Was this helpful?

Yes. The platform is built according to the Quran and Sunnah: serious intent, walis welcomed from the first step, members never shown publicly, and no profile photos required. Your chat is private between the two of you — a conversation with intention, not dating.

Was this helpful?

You create a profile (5 min). It passes an automated safety check and goes live automatically, usually within 2 minutes. Then you can browse, send interest, and chat privately. Your profile is never shown publicly.

Was this helpful?

The platform is built for the whole diaspora — Minneapolis, London, Toronto, Columbus, Birmingham, Oslo, Stockholm, Melbourne and beyond. We are in our founding period: the more who join in your city, the stronger it becomes for everyone.

Was this helpful?

Absolutely. Wali involvement is strongly encouraged and a wali flow is built into the platform — you choose when and how your wali joins. Your family can be in the room from day one, or whenever it feels right for you.

Was this helpful?

Yes. We follow GDPR (the EU data protection regulation). Your data is stored within the EU with Supabase. Your profile is never publicly searchable — it lives inside the platform only. We never share data with third parties and never sell your data. You can delete everything at any time.

Was this helpful?

Ready when you are.

Five minutes to begin. Private by design. Leave whenever you choose.
