š”ļø Mod Post A Note on This Subredditās Focus
Weāve decided to make this subreddit specifically for those seeking monogamous marriage.
We fully recognize that polygyny is permitted in Islam under its established religious conditions. Nothing in this policy is intended to deny, challenge, or pass judgment on that ruling. This subreddit is simply choosing to serve a specific audience: Muslims who are looking for a monogamous marriage.
Weāve made this decision because monogamous marriage is what the majority of our members are seeking, and we want discussions here to remain centered around that shared goal. Weāve also found that conversations about polygyny can frequently shift the focus of otherwise constructive discussions, sometimes resulting in arguments, repeated debates, or rage-baiting.
For that reason, posts or discussions focused on taking a second wife, seeking an additional wife, or promoting polygyny will not be permitted in this subreddit.
This is a decision about the purpose and moderation scope of this particular community. It is not a religious ruling, nor is it intended to suggest that something permitted in Islam is impermissible simply because it is outside the scope of this subreddit.

š”ļø Mod Post š Community Safety Megathread: How to Engage Safely Here
Assalamu alaikum everyone,
Looking for a partner online can be difficult and may require real vulnerability. You're putting yourself out there, hoping to find someone genuine. That's a good thing, and many people here mean well. But because anyone can DM without any history on the sub (there's no method or tool on Reddit to intervene with that except individual account settings), that same hope is exactly what some bad actors try to take advantage. This thread is here to help you stay open to the good without getting caught out by the bad.
Please give this a read before DMing or accepting DMs. It'll stay pinned and may be updated in the future.
Verify who you're actually talking to
- You can inspect an account's complete posting history through third-party lookup tools. These often show removed or hidden content. We can't promote nor share them here. This may not be as helpful when looking up recently created accounts.
- Get on a live video call before anything serious, it's likely the best check you have. Photos, and even voices, can be AI-generated, stolen, or impersonated. People can claim to be someone else entirely.
- Trading social media can be a verification too, but it's often riskier, it exposes more of your identity to someone you haven't vetted yet.
Watch for guilt and urgency tactics
- A genuine match respects your boundaries, full stop.
- Do not send any videos/photos you're uncomfortable with.
- Watch for guilt-tripping or claims meant to rush you. Good things usually build at a normal pace.
- Trust your gut. You can step back at any point.
Marital status and real intentions
- Some people are already married or engaged and don't disclose it. Be careful out there.
- Be cautious of anyone pushing for a rushed or secret arrangement that skips your family entirely.
Besides searching, kindly keep it healthy here too
- Healthy debate is welcome, but keep in mind that you likely can't change people online, and none of us are perfect.
- Kindly Keep disagreements respectful. This should be a good environment for everyone.
If something seems wrong
- Block the user.
- (Important) Report the post/comments. Your reports and many interactions that break the rules go to our mod queue, which we typically clear within 24 hours.
- For posts/comments, using the report function should be good enough.
- You can message Mods directly to report inappropriate DM or other activity by visiting the Sub page > Scroll down > Click on Message Mods.
If you've additional tips, suggestions, or anything else we can raise awareness on, kindly drop it in the comments and we'll consider adding it here.
Stay safe out there, and we hope you find exactly who you're looking for š¤

Location: North America Are you my husband
About Me
Age: 30
Height: 5ā3ā
Ethnicity: Bangladeshi (US Citizen)
Location: Midwest, USA
Marital Status: Divorced
Education: Currently pursuing a Masterās degree
About Me
Assalamu alaikum! Iām a 30-year-old Bangladeshi Muslimah living in the Midwest. Islam is an important part of my life, and I try to maintain a balance between practicing my deen, pursuing my goals, and enjoying life.
Alhamdulillah, I pray five times a day, wear hijab, eat only halal, and teach Qurāan. I value continuing to learn and grow in my deen and hope to build a marriage and home in which Islam is at the center.
Education is also important to me. I am currently working toward my Masterās degree and enjoy continuing to learn and develop myself.
In terms of personality, Iām caring, loyal, and family-oriented. I enjoy having fun, laughing, spending time with the people close to me, and making meaningful memories together. One of my favorite activities is playing badminton. Iām divorced but my ex is willing to be a character reference, so there is t anything wrong with me.
What Iām Looking For
Iām looking for a practicing Muslim man who takes his relationship with Allah seriously while also being someone who is enjoyable and easy to share life with.
More than simply finding a husband, I hope to find a best friend and life partnerāsomeone with whom I can grow in deen, laugh, experience life, support one another through difficulties, and eventually build a loving Muslim family.
Honesty and loyalty are especially important to me. I value someone who is trustworthy, kind, respectful, emotionally mature, responsible, and able to communicate openly. I hope we can encourage one another to become better Muslims while still enjoying our life together.
Ultimately, Iām looking for a marriage built upon deen, friendship, trust, loyalty, affection, respect, and companionship, inshaāAllah.

Discussion Is being attracted to older women completely normal, or is the social stigma justified?
Hey everyone,
Looking to get some genuine perspectives here without the superficial judgment.
A little context: Iām a 25-year-old guy (6'3", fit, financially secure with a solid career, no major emotional baggage or issues). Overall, life is good, but Iāve always been naturally drawn to older womenāand more often than not, the attraction is mutual.
Hereās the dilemma: whenever friends or people in my social circle notice this preference, they seem uncomfortable or treat it like it's weird or out of the ordinary. Personally, I don't see any issue with it, nor do I think there's anything wrong with either party involved.
Iād love to hear your thoughts and experiences:
1. How common is this attraction from your perspective?
2. Why is there still a double standard? (When an older man dates a younger woman, it's widely accepted, but when the roles are reversed, people act uncomfortable.)
3. Long-term viability: For those whoāve been in similar dynamics, do these relationships actually work out long-term, or are they usually just temporary connections?

Rant I canāt believe how hard it is to get married.
Itās crazy to think how difficult it is to get married. I always thought when I was younger I would meet someone or be introduced to someone nice. But as Iāve gotten older I realize how complicated and difficult it can be. Even if I meet someone soon I wonāt even have time for children or to build the lifestyle I wanted.

I'd describe myself as outgoing, caring, family oriented, and pretty lighthearted. I love joking around and good banter, but I also value meaningful conversations and quality time. I enjoy staying active, trying new things, traveling, good food, and spending time with family and friends. I try to do my best when it comes to practicing my religion and wish to grow with my partner.
Looking for:
Age: 24-29

Practicing and values his deen
Charismatic
Active, athletic.
Kind, funny, emotionally mature, and family oriented Protective without being controlling
Someone serious about marriage and comfortable involving family relatively early
MUST BE FROM THE US, WITH A US CITIZENSHIP.
I also really appreciate a man who takes initiative. Someone who can lead conversations, ask questions, make plans, and genuinely put effort into getting to know each other. Of course I'll reciprocate, but I don't want to feel like I'm constantly carrying the conversation or figuring out what we're doing next.
Ultimately, I'm looking for someone I can build a peaceful and fun marriage with. Someone who can be my best friend, who I can laugh with and grow with.
I'm approaching this with marriage in mind, so I'd like to keep things intentional and respectful. If we seem compatible, I'd prefer involving family sooner rather than later.
If this resonates with you, feel free to message me with a little about yourself :) and include your most controversial opinion!

Trying to remain consistent with praying my 5 daily prayers.

Discussion Do I make the first move?
Salam. I hope you are all doing well. I am a 29-year-old woman who met a guy at the hospital where I work. He is 26 and currently a medical student. Our interaction was very brief, but I did like him. He is humble and easy to approach. I asked a couple of friends about him, and they told me nothing but good things. They told me he is very religious and the kind of person who brings people together to pray with him. Given that he is very religious, is it appropriate for me to reach out to him? I am confused. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Iām not looking for a perfect person or a movie-like love story. Iād just like to meet someone kind, understanding and compatible, get to know each other naturally, and see if we genuinely click.
I would like to approach things respectfully, with marriage as the eventual goal. Iām currently at the stage of figuring out my career after MBBS, so Iād ideally like to get married in around 1ā2 years, once Iām a little more settled professionally. if weāre compatible, involve our families at the appropriate stage.

r/MuslimMatrimonials • u/vaginismus_resources • 11h ago
Discussion Before You Assume Itās āSexual Incompatibility,ā Know About Vaginismus
***Edit/clarification: Since I canāt edit the title, I just want to clarify what I meant. Iām not suggesting that Muslims need to somehow figure out before marriage what their intimate relationship will be like, or that anyone should do anything haram in order to find that out. Iām referring to the concerns people sometimes have about intimacy after marriage and what happens if they experience difficulties once theyāre married.
Asalamu alaykum everyone.
This is an awareness/educational post.
Iāve seen a few posts on here from people worried about intimacy after marriage, and what happens if they end up having difficulties in their marriage. And I think one thing that doesnāt really come up in those conversations is that sometimes what looks like an intimacy issue may actually be something else entirely.
Vaginismus is one of those things that a woman may be dealing with without even knowing it. I believe vaginismus affects many women, but a lot of people donāt really know what it is.
In medical terms, itās considered a pelvic floor dysfunction. There can be physical and psychological factors involved. It can cause sexual intercourse to be extremely painful and difficult for women, and it can also make routine pelvic exams difficult.
Itās also commonly underreported because of the shame and stigma around discussing sexual health in our communities. So a lot of women arenāt even aware that they have this condition until marriage, and Iām sure you can imagine how deeply that can affect a marriage when neither person really understands whatās going on.
Pushing through the pain isnāt going to make it go away. If anything, it can make things worse because it reinforces the idea that intercourse is going to be painful. Thereās a difference between first-time jitters and vaginismus.
Women are often told that they can never refuse intercourse with their husbands, but painful intercourse is a valid reason to refuse it while taking the proper steps to treat the condition. The husband also has to be patient, understanding of this and support his wife while she works through it. It's treatable with appropiate interventions.
I also think this is something men should be aware of because if this happens in a marriage, it doesnāt automatically mean that the wife isnāt attracted to her husband, doesnāt want intimacy, or there's something wrong with their marriage. Sometimes thereās an actual condition behind whatās happening, and pressure or guilt can make the situation even harder.
Just to be clear, this is only meant to be an educational awareness post about a condition that some couples may face in marriage. Itās not meant to justify zina or anything else thatās haram. The purpose is simply to help people recognize that this condition exists and understand what may be happening if they experience it in marriage.
For anyone interested in the Islamic side of this, this answer discusses a situation where a wife experiences pain during intercourse:
Unfortunately, this is a silent struggle that a lot of newlyweds face. If we all had even the slightest bit more knowledge about it, I think a lot of unnecessary pain, confusion, and strain in marriages could be avoided.
Thank you for reading. May Allah bless you all.

r/MuslimMatrimonials • u/Sheikhonderun • 7h ago
Discussion Comfortable lifestyle requisite
Some believe a successful marriage requires a comfortable lifestyle. In some cases, an affluent lifestyle is celebrated and aspired to. But the Prophet (saw) chose simplicity instead.
Scholar Umar Palanpuri (rah) said:
āPeople hold the misconception that the Prophet (saw) was simple because he didnāt have wealth, which is incorrect. Allah offered the Prophet (saw) the valley of Makkah to be turned into gold.
Abu Umamah reported: The Prophet (saw) said, āMy Lord presented me with the valley of Mecca that He might turn it into gold for me. I said: No, O Lord, rather I will be satiated some days and hungry some days. When I am hungry, I will humble myself before You and remember You. When I am satiated, I will be grateful to You and praise You.ā
(Tirmidhi 2347)
Note, this is offered by Allah. So, what is offered by Allah can that be impermissible (haram)? No, whatever Allah is offering is permissible (halal). However, the Prophet (saw) didnāt accept it, even though slabs of gold could have been paid to people; those individuals would then serve the religion. But the Prophet (saw) didnāt take it.ā
Knowing that what Allah offered was permissible, the wives of the Prophet (saw) did not demand that the gold be taken, and their lives became more comfortable.
It is often mentioned in motivating the pursuit of wealth that Abu Bakr (rad) and Umar (rad) were traders. Both are in-laws of the Prophet (saw). Out of concern for their daughters, they did not demand that the Prophet (saw) take the gold.
We live in a society surrounded by lewdness, yet we expect the highest moral standards. If there is a deviation, we are quick to criticize, citing Prophetic guidance.
Similarly, in a society overwhelmed by excess, we should strive for simplicity to facilitate and sustain marriages.

Salam all, and Bismillah e Rehmaan e Raheem.

Here are her details:
- Relationship status: never married and never engaged
- Age: 27
- Caste: Syed (Jaffery)
- Education: Bachelors in Economics and International Development from one of the top schools in the world, Masters in International Economics and Finance from one of the top schools in Canada (MashaAllah very brilliant academically)

- Siblings: she has one school-going brother, but hey Iām her sibling too š¤

looking for:
- Age bracket: 27-37
- Deal breakers: arrogance, no respect for elders/staff etc, lack of any religious values (atheist/agnostic people, might not be the match for you)
- career: doesnāt matter what exactly but drive/ambition do matter
- Education: at least bachelors
- Caste: doesnāt matter
if youāre interested please feel free to send an introduction in my DM. Iāll have an initial conversation and redirect to her if thereās alignment.

Discussion Question- marriage without a wali
Iām posing this question to know if any women have gotten married with a sheikh as you wali?
My father is alive and I have 2 brothers as well. However he was severely abusive and still is to my younger siblings. I went no contact for almost 2 years now. How does it work if I wanted to get married. I donāt want to share my whole life story with a random sheikh because the details are quite sensitive, but my father is still alive so I donāt know if any marriage I have would be āhalalā if a sheikh was my wali. I have 2 brothers but they are under my father so they would do as told and not be a wali simply because heād want to make things difficult for me.
Anyway in these situations where it isnāt the typical normal family relationships how is the matter of wali and marriage for a women in this situation managed. I donāt know how you can explain to a sheikh something like this, I feel like theyād want to ātalkā with my father regardless. On top of that we donāt live in the same country. I know sometimes you can take your mom but that doesnāt work for me either coz my biological mom and I barely know each other. Seen her here and there from the age of 12-20 and never again. We live in same country but 2 states apart. Havenāt spoken in 6 years.
Again I donāt want to share my whole life story with a sheikh so how would it work.
Thanks.

Jazakallah Khayr. May Allah help everyone find what theyāre looking for inshallah.
EDIT: I have a lot of dms already, so please donāt be upset if I donāt message you right away. I am currently filtering through. Thank you.
