Looking to enter Nikah? Well now is your chance with the official Islamic Nikah Search website. Now you too can randomly select your lifelong partner over the internet. This is not a dating website, this is a select your future islamic spouse website. If you read the page, it literally says NO DATING. Seriously, I don't know if this makes me laugh more or scares the **** out of me more. This is one creepy website.

I would make a fake account to check it out, but the site scares me too much. I am afraid they would hunt me down.

This is similar to arranged marriages in India. Arranged marriages arent as creepy as it seems, usually the parents meet first, ensure that the families are compatible financially and socially (thats HUGE in India) the engaged parties then meet or correspond either by phone or writing. Surprisingly though, the divorce rate is only 3% in India.

the purpose of this website is not to play around or find friends, but for those who are serious about getting married. thats what it means by no dating or friendship.

To each their own. I wouldnt slander it though, it just may not be your cup of tea..

Notice that none of the people on that site live in what I consider to be Islamic countries, except for the teacher from Pakistan??

That is usually the case, If you lived in an Islamic country with tens of thousands of other Muslims theres no need for the website.

BMP... divorce is so low there and in many other countries because its still tabu! What I wish it was here in America. People just take marriage way to lightly!!

In most Islamic countries the diverce rate is very low...if the guy cheats, it's tough, if the woman cheats, they stone her or behead her in public....if she successful divorces, unless the guy is in prison, HE gets the kids...

Kinda cuts down on the "irreconcileable differences" complaints, eh?

Technically it is taken lightly there too, ending it is not taken lightly, but arranging marriages and setting up marriages without friendship or penpalship as this site proposes is making a mockery of love as well. Sadly love isn't a factor as far as marriage in these countries. Marriage is more about status and money.

My parents live in a middle eastern country that will remain nameless, but it is really odd to go through a subdivision there and see 5 houses in a row that are exactly the same with exactly the same cars in the driveway. They still believe in polygamy and each wife requires the exact same as the rest.

Either way marriage here isn't taken the right way!
