From the centuries-old art of matchmaking to the modern age of technology, one thing remains the same – the power of human connection.
Matchmakers around the world have used their expertise to help others find love for generations, and in today’s digital age, their craft is more important than ever. With the help of modern technology, matchmakers can now use their skills to create meaningful connections and bring people together in ways that technology alone cannot. to celebrate women’s month, we had a chat with the CEO of Halal matchmaking using her skills to help others find love in this new age
What inspired you to start a match-making agency?
it all started with me finding a spouse for myself which was hard for me at that time (2017) and I tend to be a social media person so I started messaging people at random and their profiles entice me and to my surprise, none were cooperating with me. then I back down on the search and now begin to wonder seriously if this is a problem to me ( finding a spouse) and if it’s a problem to me that means it’s a problem to so many other people. so I came up with the idea of matchmaking which I started Jan 2018 and as of now, I myself attended 74 weddings with 1 international marriage from Watford England.
How do you match potential partners?
First, we have a form which includes the persons seeking a partner Information like Gender, age, tribe, religion, and skin colour. Genotype, marital status, health status, educational status, employment status, current location, origin and Nationality. after feeling this form then you send it with your picture attached. we post your profile only. and keep the picture so any interested person in your profile will be sent your picture to see. if he or she is Ok with your physical appearance, he or she sends the same information and pictures to be sent back to the profile owner to see if he or she is ok with the interested person’s profile too. if he or she is ok with the interested person’s profile that’s a match for us. then we exchange contact with both individuals.
