A Friendly Safety Reminder for EVERYONE Here

Like anywhere else on the internet, there are scammers and people who misrepresent themselves in this subreddit too.

I've personally come across people pretending to be someone else or using fake identities, and in one instance, someone even claimed to be an ex-Muslim when they weren't.

I also spoke to someone who initially seemed kind and humble, but after I declined their proposal, they became abusive and started insulting me. Thankfully, I hadn't shared any personal information that could have been misused.

This is just a reminder for both men and women: please be cautious before sharing personal information, even something as simple as your full name. If you decide to meet someone from here, choose a public place, let a trusted friend or family member know where you'll be, and prioritize your safety.

Most people here are genuine, but it's always better to be cautious than to regret it later.

Stay safe, everyone!!

28F|Indian|ZeroPrivacy

My family is aggressively looking for an arranged marriage alliance for me, while I'm secretly trying to find someone like-minded. . I recently found out they've been trying to overhear my late-night phone calls with the guys I found on the internet. My mom confronted me, wanted to check my phone, and now I'm not allowed to lock my room. I'm 28, and it feels like I have no privacy.

The hardest part is that finding genuine and compatible pretend-muslim guys was already difficult enough and now I've lost contact with them because my situation no longer allows me to speak to them. I'm somehow managing to chat with them but I know voice and video calls are important. I don't even go for outings without my family.

Any women here dealing with similar arranged marriage pressure or controlling families? How are you coping, especially if you're not financially independent? Any advice? PLEASE DON'T SUGGEST MOVING OUT OR BECOMING FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT, I HAVE MY REASONS.

Haircut rules in Islam!? I am so furious

(Google image) I gave my 2 nephews similar haircut at home and I was so proud of myself. But the next day, their mother made all their hair the same length. On confronting she said it’s mentioned in hadith that “whoever had such a hairstyle, Muhammad would look away from them.” I literally got so furious but I controlled myself and chose to stay silent. But seriously, this religion is making me hate it more and more every day because of such lame things. Also I feel bad for my nephews who are becoming victims of childhood indoctrination.
