Marriage by country

Marriage in Palestine and abroad: the sharia courts and meeting

Palestinian Muslim marriages go through the sharia courts after a medical test, and the difficulty of moving between the West Bank, Gaza and abroad makes the family meeting place an early question. On Zawjni the introduction starts with no office or intermediary, for free, with your place of residence stated.

How is marriage concluded for Palestinians?

Marriage for Palestinian Muslims is concluded at the sharia courts, and a premarital medical test is required. Those living in Jordan, Egypt or the Gulf marry under their country of residence's procedures.

Because moving between the West Bank, Gaza and abroad is hard, where the family meeting and contract take place is a question to settle early. Zawjni does not conclude marriages or issue documents.

Marriage offices in Palestine: what does an introduction site add?

Palestinians search for "marriage office in Palestine" and "marriage office in Nablus". An office relies on an intermediary who chooses for you; on Zawjni you write your own profile and choose who to contact.

Zawjni never asks for or publishes your phone number, and contact starts with a message inside the site after a like. You can add your wali to your account from settings if you want him involved.

Before you write your profile

State your city (Nablus, Hebron, Ramallah, Gaza...) or your country of residence, your marital status and whether you would relocate. Say in your bio where a family meeting could take place.
