Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-03-27

1. About the service

Somali Marriage is a private halal matrimony platform for the Somali diaspora in the West — including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and across the EU. The service is offered in the spirit of sadaqa (charity) for the community. During our founding period it is free to join.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the service. You must be Muslim and be seeking marriage in a halal manner. By registering you confirm that you meet these requirements.

3. Code of conduct

As a member you agree to:

  • Provide truthful and accurate information in your profile
  • Treat every member with respect and adab (good manners)
  • Follow Islamic principles in all communication
  • Keep your conversations respectful and sincere in intention
  • Not share other members' information with outsiders
  • Not use the service for inappropriate or haram purposes

4. Private conversations and the wali flow

When two members have mutual interest, a private one-to-one conversation opens between them. These conversations are private between the two people. For everyone's safety, an automated filter screens every message for phone numbers and off-platform contact details, and a message it flags may be reviewed by a moderator before delivery; we do not otherwise read your messages, and they are stored only so we can deliver them and keep your history.

Somali Marriage is wali-friendly. A wali (guardian) flow is built into the platform, but it is member-initiated: you decide when to involve your wali. A sister can add her wali's contact details at any time, and we encourage involving family and the wali as a conversation grows serious and moves toward a family meeting and nikah.

5. Profiles and review

Every profile passes an automated safety check before it becomes visible to other members, screening for leaked contact details and other policy breaches. We do not review private conversations. We reserve the right to reject, pause or remove profiles that breach these terms or Islamic principles, and to review a profile or conversation manually if it is reported or flagged. Members are never displayed publicly.

6. Membership and pricing

Somali Marriage is free to join, browse, send and receive interest. For sisters, the private chat is free too, always — no payment is ever required. For brothers, writing in the private chat requires Premium: a one-time payment of 699 kr (three months), 1499 kr (one year), or 3999 kr (lifetime) — none of which renew or charge again. A brother may also earn a month of Premium by inviting 10 activated brothers. Prices include VAT where applicable and are shown before any purchase.

Purchases deliver digital access immediately. By completing a purchase you expressly consent to immediate delivery and acknowledge that the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal (EU Consumer Rights Directive; Swedish distansavtalslagen) therefore does not apply once access is activated. Every purchase is a single payment — nothing renews and nothing further is ever charged. If something goes wrong on our side, for example a double charge or access that never activated, contact [email protected] and we will make it right.

7. Limitation of liability

Somali Marriage is a matchmaking service that facilitates introductions. We do not guarantee the outcome of any match. We are not responsible for inaccurate information provided by members. We are not responsible for actions that take place off the platform.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that any marriage you enter into is lawful in your country of residence. Some members indicate openness to a polygamous marriage; polygamy is permitted in some jurisdictions and unlawful in others, and it is your responsibility — not ours — to know and comply with the law that applies to you. Somali Marriage facilitates introductions only and does not provide legal advice.

8. Termination

You can request at any time that your account be closed and your data deleted. We reserve the right to close accounts that breach these terms.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be communicated by email. Continued use of the service after changes means you accept the updated terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by Swedish law, as our operating company (Nelux AB) is based in Sweden. Disputes are settled by the Swedish courts. This does not remove any mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have under the laws of your own country of residence.

11. Contact

Questions about these terms can be sent to [email protected].
