Marriage Site in the UAE for Citizens and Residents

A marriage site in the UAE for citizens and residents

Zawjni is an Arabic marriage site where citizens and Arab residents of the UAE register for free, get daily suggestions and message within a match without a subscription. Since most people searching here are residents from another country, every member can state whether they would relocate and explain their nationality and plans after marriage in their bio.

Marriage in the UAE for residents: what to ask before committing

Many people searching "how do I get married in the UAE" are residents from Egypt, the Levant and the Maghreb. What needs settling early: both partners' nationalities, residence type, and whether you stay in the UAE after marriage or go home.

On Zawjni you write that in your bio and set whether you would relocate. Profiles also have a marital status field, including divorced and widowed, which are common searches in the UAE.

How is marriage concluded in the UAE?

Muslim marriage in the UAE is concluded at the court or by a ma'zoun licensed by it. Non-citizens usually need attested documents from their home country, and requirements differ between the seven emirates.

Zawjni does not conclude marriages or issue documents; its role is marriage-minded introductions.

Before you write your profile

State your emirate (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah...) and nationality in your bio, and your line of work if you wish. You can turn on photo hiding in settings if you prefer your photos to show only to people you choose.

What Zawjni does differently

No phone number, ever

Zawjni has no phone-number field. Contact starts with a message inside the site, and you decide when to share anything else.

Photo privacy you control

Turn on photo hiding in settings and your photos appear blurred to every member until you reveal them yourself inside a conversation you choose.

Your wali can be involved

You can add your wali to your account from settings. It is optional: nothing forces it and nothing hides it.

Block, report and verification

Block or report any member from their profile; our team reviews every report. A verification badge means the member sent a selfie that a person on our team compared with their profile photo.
