The Process

How Halal Rishta works

Two dedicated journeys, one shared principle: nothing moves forward without the Wali.

For Men

Six steps from registration to nikah

Create your account and verify your identity with a CNIC and liveness check.

Build Your Profile

Add your background, family details, and what you are looking for in a spouse.

Browse Female Profiles

View text-based profiles. Photos remain private until a Wali chooses to share one.

Send a Rishta Request

Your request goes straight to her Wali for review, never to her directly.

Await Wali Decision

The Wali accepts, declines, or asks follow-up questions before any contact opens.

Family Communication

Once accepted, a guided thread opens between both families toward nikah.

For Women & Wali

Verify your identity and your relationship to the woman under your care.

Create Her Profile

Build her profile on her behalf, with her input and consent at every step.

Set Photo Sharing Rules

Decide in advance who can ever be shown a photo, and under what conditions.

Review Incoming Requests

Every Rishta Request is screened by you first — nothing reaches her unfiltered.

Approve or Decline

Approve promising matches, decline the rest, with no pressure and no swiping.

Guide the Communication

Oversee the family thread as the conversation moves toward nikah.
