American Muslim Matrimonial Searches

American Muslims blend in with the rest of America in many ways. They do the same jobs, go to the same grocery stores, often wear exactly the same clothes and talk the same way. But in one very important way, Muslims cannot blend with other Americans: Muslim matrimonial traditions are different.

An American Muslim’s matrimonial search does not involve dating, going to bars, or hooking up. Because the Koran proscribes young men and women mixing in casual ways, a young Muslim generally depends on family, friends, and Muslim gatherings to find his or her future mate. In fact, the most common way for Muslims to find their future spouse is by attending weddings themselves.

This works well for a Muslim in the Middle East or in Asia; there are lots of Muslims to meet at frequent weddings and other gatherings, and it’s easy for your relatives to locate promising young men and women that you can meet in the necessary controlled situations. But in America and the rest of the Western world, Muslims are not so common. Weddings you can actually attend happen only once or twice a year. And there’s no guarantee you’ll find a good prospect at any of them. It can be years before you can meet a mate casually.

But when you’re ready to get married, you don’t want to wait. That’s where new technology comes in. Instead of waiting, consider trying American Muslim matrimonial websites. By using the Internet to help in your matrimonial search, you can greatly expedite your search for a spouse, and not have to depend on your friends’ and relatives’ sometimes dubious judgment about what you’re looking for in your future wife or husband.

Matrimonial websites aren’t at all like the sleazy websites you may think about when you think about people meeting online. Instead, they’re like the personal ads you’re probably already familiar with in Muslim newspapers – one young person seeking another to get to know each other through letters. The biggest difference is that Muslim matrimonial websites allow you to search for prospects with different parameters.

For example, you can look for young Muslims who live near you; who are from specific backgrounds; who have certain types of jobs; and who have similar interests to yours. If you’re a young man, you may want a woman who will give up her job when she marries; or you may want a woman who is interested in moving to another country. If you’re an American, Muslim matrimonial websites can make the difference between searching for a spouse for years and finding your perfect mate, perhaps in only a few weeks.

And American Muslim matrimonial websites are getting easier to find. Many large Muslim organizations, especially the ones that also sponsor Muslim newspapers on their sites, are hosting searchable Muslim matrimonial websites. If you’re an American, Muslim matrimonial sites often list your prospects by their interests and where they live, making it easy for you to find the perfect mate.

Instead of depending on chance to find your bride or husband, try an American Muslim matrimonial website. You’ll be thanking them on your wedding day.
