Sunni Muslim. Always striving to be a better muslim and not miss any prayers. Really big on assisting humanity through charity and kindness because that's all a person may need sometimes.

Hobbies & Interests

I'm such a film enthusiast, ugh! Cult classics, true crime, psychological thrillers, horror, murder mysteries, you name it! I love literature (Kafka and Dostoevsky are my boys) and I adore anime (Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle broke me)

Apart from that, I love geeking out over conspiracy theories that make you question life, and reading one too many articles on Substack.

I'm also trying to learn the Khaleeji dialect of Arabic as it's the one I grew up hearing in the Gulf and its widely spoken by the men in my family.

Family Details

Dad has a business abroad. Mother is a homemaker. I have 2 younger sisters (I'm the oldest) aged 21 and 16. No brothers.

Requirements for a Partner

- Physical aspects of a person don't much matter to me, but I would prefer someone who exercises regularly and takes care of their body.

- Height of 5'9 to 6'0 is preferred so we can have that cute height difference and take those aesthetic couple photos loll

- Aged between 28 to 32

- Should be open-minded and not a control freak.

- Shouldn't have female friends or if he does, should establish clear boundaries.

- A partner who is protective, intentional, and makes me feel valued and prioritized.

- A leader, a provider, around whom I can just shut my brain off and be my most feminine self.

- Has to be kind, empathetic, emotionally intelligent, and loyal.

- A little fictionally romantic because I want that grand romance 😭

- A friend before a lover, who understands and respects me and my boundaries and is able to stand by my side through everything.

Deal Breakers

- Momma's boy (doesn't have any autonomy on his own life)

- Emotional Immaturity

- Anger Issues

- Isn't serious for marriage. Wants to drag the process.

- Dishonest. Manipulative. Controlling.

- Womanizer.

- I don't have a long list of dealbreakers, just be decent lol😭

Preferred Family Setup: Nuclear is preferred. Privacy and a separate space is extremely important for a couple.

Do You Want Children?: Not a major priority for me at present, though I am open to the idea in the future.

Timeframe for Marriage: Ideally within 6–12 months once compatibility has been established. I prefer involving families early on if both parties feel there is genuine potential.

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Location: Islamabad / London

I’ve lived in Islamabad/Rawalpindi my whole life and I’m just in London for the year for my masters degree - coming back home soon but open to connecting with people from anywhere (as long as you like what you read below + somewhat meet the criteria I’ve mentioned)

My Height & Weight: 5’6, weight idk but I’m on the curvier side.

Accommodation: it’s our own (in Islamabad)

Education: LLB and LLM

Income Source: Consulting & legal practice but those don’t pay too much so let’s just say I’m very glad I’m my dads favourite 🤣😭

Marital Status: Single / Never Married

Religion: Sunni, Muslim. I would say I’m very spiritual. I try and fast and pray whenever I can but I’m not too strictly practicing.

Hobbies & Interests:

I love cooking. I like making healthy renditions of food. E.g: protein packed pancakes or biryani but brown rice/kinoa, more meat, sweet boiled potato instead of normal aloo (more nutrient dense).

I love golf, tennis and swimming - I’d say I’m really bad at both of them but great at swimming.

I love history, politics and culture - so naturally this means I love reading about the aforementioned topics but because of this interest I also love travelling. Exploring new cultures, areas and learning about their history. I’ve gone on multiple solo trips - backpacked, camped, stayed in a hostel etc - so I can do both 5* hotels in East Asia but also a sleeping bag under the stars in Deosai.

Family Details: I’m super close to my family. I live with my mum (housewife), dad (business professional) grandmother and 1 sister & 2 brothers (siblings are all studying)

My parents had me at a young age so in a way I’ve seen my parents grow up with me. They’re my best friends and it would be cool to have a partner that’s close with their family too (but not close in a weird brown boy’s obsessed mom way)

Preferred Family Setup: Nuclear after shaadi but open to making it extended when our parents are old(er) and need assistance (+ grandparents are free babysitters 🥳🥳)

Kids: Yes, many. Jk just two maybe

Timeframe for marriage: 1 - 2 years

Requirements for a Partner

* Looks: not too fussed about this but I’d like someone my height or taller, preferably (nice muscles are always a plus)

* Emotionally intelligent

* A masters degree OR well read in general (bachelors is a must though) - a great GPA too (I’m going to need to see transcripts) (again just kidding - about the GPA part)

* Ambitious and wants more from life

* Loves travelling

* Likes doggos (I have four) and would love to get more with my partner (at least one)

* Keeps active (I go to the gym and pilates on alternate days)

* I’m NOT ok with drugs, cigs are fine but would be great if you’re trying to quit

Deal Breakers

* Follows random girls you don’t know on Instagram - are you running a clothing store?

* Drives recklessly (hate that)

* Type B: (doesn’t schedule things, not on time, not very reliable / needs to be reminded of imp things, too go with the flow)

* Doesn’t treat people kindly - (like being disrespectful to staff or even people you know)

* I’m sure there’s other deal breakers but I can’t remember more

Anyway please DM me (with a similar-ish introduction) if you think we would get along. This is my first time posting on Reddit ever. Fingers crossed.

Ladies and Gentlemen, let the hunger games begin
Jk writing this with sincere intentions, I hope I get the same energy back

Religion & Short Details About How Practicing You Are
🌸As a hijabi, I prefer sharing my picture after consistent conversation and mutual seriousness. I also prefer early family involvement (within a month) if things feel aligned

🌸Also we are Sunni and would prefer sunnis. Although I do not believe in sects but just putting it out there for its sake.

🌸 It’s a little hard to describe yourself in a few lines, but I’d say I’m selectively social. I am slightly reserved at first but a proper yapper if you know me 😭 I love playful banter (within boundaries), teasing and mutual respect. I have a sarcastic sense of humour and I really value emotional connection, effort, and thoughtful gestures.

🌸 I’m someone who pays attention to small things. I’ll remember something you said months ago and probably turn it into a gift later without even mentioning it.

🌸 I would also call myself deeply driven and opinionated. Despite valuing family a lot, I still want to achieve the most in all aspects of life. My career gives me a lot of meaning and I plan on continuing it and harnessing my potential.

🌸 I love cats and fully plan on emotionally blackmailing my future husband into adopting one.

🌸 I enjoy movies and over-analysing them afterwards. Definitely one of my comfort hobbies. You will find me cuddled in a blanket in winters with my 20th Lord of The Rings run and there would be no other place I would rather be.

🌸 I love writing. I feel that is one of the most vulnerable and honest ways to express yourself. Bonus points if my husband and I could write eachother letters :)

🌸 I love gaming (The Last of Us is still emotionally damaging. I’m open to discuss how it traumatised an entire generation) I also go to the gym 4–5 times a week. I’d love a partner who also values fitness and discipline. My music taste is quite mixed — The Weeknd, Pink Floyd, Queen, ABBA, CAS, The 1975, Kaavish, Hasan Raheem.

🌸 Religiously, I’m a practicing hijabi and trying to improve consistently. I’m not perfect, but I’m trying to grow. I prefer someone with similar values of modesty, respect, and haya.

✨ What I’m looking for

⭐️Emotional Availability: I value emotional consistency. I do value clarity and communication. Even a simple “I’m busy, I’ll reply later” means a lot to me. I feel most secure when effort and intention are consistent.
More than anything, I want emotional safety. A marriage where both people feel heard, understood, and not judged for being human. I want softness in communication and a sense of calm in the relationship.

⭐️Modesty/Haya: I deeply value haya, respect, and boundaries, especially with the opposite gender. I’d love a partner who is also trying to grow in deen and dunya. I maintain my physical boundaries with men and would respect a partner with a similar mindset when it comes to women.

⭐️Provider Mindset: I prefer a husband who takes financial responsibility as the primary provider. If someone strongly believes in strict 50/50 financial contribution, we may not be aligned.

⭐️Ambitious and Driven: I admire ambition and direction. I’m ambitious myself, and I want a partnership where we both push each other forward instead of holding each other back.

⭐️Teamwork: I also believe marriage should feel like teamwork. If both people are working, I think life should be shared, not split into rigid roles when it comes to chores and managing

Deal breakers
- Consistent anger issues or emotional immaturity
- Ego-driven or dismissive communication
- Smoking, drinking, or lack of boundaries with women
- Open engagement with inappropriate content or lack of haya
- Casual intentions or inconsistency
- Dishonesty or lack of clarity
- Excessive dependence on parents in a way that doesn’t allow space for a spouse
- A complete lack of religious inclination

✨ Other details

Family Setup: I prefer a nuclear family setup because of pardah.

Do you want children? I’m not looking to have children immediately — maybe in the future when I feel emotionally and mentally ready, but not in the first few years. I would want to spend the initial time of my marriage travelling and getting to know my husband fully.

I also believe carrying children and birthing them takes the most toll on the woman’s body both physically and mentally. It should be her decision and left up to her, without any societal pressures.

Also men wanting babies is not the same as them wanting to be a father
If you are someone who would be excited about splitting the parental responsibilities 50/50 only then would I consider having children.
“Children are the woman’s responsibility to rear and raise” is a mindset better left in the 20th century.

Timeline for Marriage: Ideally, I’d like to move toward marriage within 6 months to a year if compatibility feels right.
And lastly, I value sincerity over performance. Please be honest and don’t lie as they tend to come to the surface later. Please reply with a profile of your own if you have made it this far :)

Assalam ua alaikum, I hope everyone is doing well, idk i just decided to give it a try... you never know you finding your comfort of eyes here

Height & Weight: 5’11 and 66 kgs

Location: Lahore

Residence: Rented

Education and Career: I’ve completed my Bachelors in Software Engineering and currently work as a software developer

Marital Status: Single - never married

Religious views: I strive to perform my mandatory prayers consistently and have a deep desire to learn more about my religion. My long-term goal is to truly understand who Allah is and to fulfill my true purpose in this life. I value continuous spiritual growth and self-reflection.

Hobbies & Interests: I consider myself a calm, composed, and self-aware person who avoids unnecessary conflict and doesn’t stress over trivial matters.I try so hard to be kind in every situation and build a forgiving heart. I respect boundaries and don’t interfere in others’ affairs. I’m a student of knowledge…always eager to learn, improve, and seek feedback so I can reflect and grow.
I’m generally quiet  but funny and light-hearted with people I’m comfortable with.
I’m a nature lover and enjoy long walks, especially during sunrise and sunset… sometimes i go for long drive tooo.
I love history, and poetry too, I am very much inspired by Iqbal and look upto him. I also watch anime, and read comics. I do journaling too, i am not regular but i do try to give my dumb thoughts so many words hehe
I’m also physically active. I enjoy playing table tennis a lot and football too 

Family Details: My father works abroad, my mother is a housewife. I have two sisters(elder is married, the younger one is in her undergrad) and I am their only brother. Family values and mutual respect are very important to me.

Requirements for a partner: I need someone who:  also is keen to learn and grow who is loyal and emotionally available, who understands her emotions and triggers and knows how to handle them maturely,values character development, humility, and honest communication(clearing things out, and pointing out where i am wrong too… so that i can reflect on myself too). Humbleness is also a trait of people with good character.
Is religiously aligned and willing to improve herself in deen, has a growth mindset and can support me through ups and downs, since I like taking risks. As for age: 27 or under 27 and above 20 is ok for me(it's flexible tho )

As a man, I understand the responsibilities that come with becoming the qawaam of a household, and I’m trying my best to prepare myself for that role. Recently, my father moved abroad and left the family affairs in my care. Since then, I’ve been managing responsibilities and taking care of my mother, Alhamdulillah. Of course, I make mistakes because it’s my first experience handling everything, but I learn from them and keep improving.

Alongside this, I’m fully focused on my career and growth. My field requires constant learning, so even after office hours, I spend my time learning new skills and exploring better opportunities. Financial freedom is very important to me, and I believe this is the phase of life where I should give my all, work hard, and build something meaningful. Alhamdulillah, my current job allows me to provide, but I still strive for bigger opportunities and long-term stability. For me financial freedom is key to get closer to Allah cuz you work hard, you take risks, you control your life you put the efforts and then leave everything to Allah, cuz he is the best of all planners, and known of unknown

I’m also very aware of my strengths and weaknesses. I hold myself accountable for my mistakes and always try my best not to hurt anyone through my words or actions. And if I ever do, I apologize as soon as I realize it. I know I’m not perfect and I’ll continue to make mistakes, but I’m mindful, self-aware, and always working on becoming a better man.

In difficult or stressful situations, I don’t lose control or give up easily. I stay calm, take responsibility, and focus on finding solutions, whether it’s related to work, family, or life in general.

The reason I’m sharing all of this is because, while I’m constantly working on improving and building myself, I would want the same mindset from my partner as well.

Deal Breakers: who are dishonest and lack integrity, who have lack of ambition or they are unwilling to grow, who dont communicate or clear things out like they keep things to themselves, who blame others instead of taking responsibility for their mistakes
(I have a huge respect for people who acknowledge  their mistakes and work on improving themselves)

Preferred Family Setup: Prefer Nuclear, but it depends since i am my parent's only son, so i would appreciate someone who is willing to have a daily meal with my parents too. I dont mind either

Do You Want Children?: Yes, but not immediately.

Timeframe for Marriage: I’d prefer within 1 year,  but I’m flexible about that. I would like to get to know the other person and involve families as early as possible

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. If you feel we might be a good match, I’d be happy to hear from you. Wishing you the very best in your search :)

I honestly don’t really know how to go about writing one of these, so forgive the rambling.

Apps like Bumble and Tinder have been disappointingly hollow for me, and a “quick fix” is the last thing I’m looking for. I want a real companion, someone who’s genuinely all in, especially for the difficult parts of life. And I promise I’ll show up the same way in return.

About me:

I'm an MBBS doctor, currently in my final year of specialization. (The field I’m specializing in is not related to patient care, which was an active choice I made after empathy fatigue during housejob.)

>I’m also childfree by choice, and I want to be transparent about why. I don’t believe it is responsible to bring children into a world that feels increasingly unstable, demanding, and emotionally exhausting. At the same time, I don’t see motherhood as something that would align with my capacity, temperament, or the kind of life I want to build. I prefer honesty over expectation, and intention over social default.

That said, I still want marriage because I value partnership in its own right. I want companionship, emotional safety, shared life structure, and someone to grow alongside through both stability and difficulty. To me, marriage is not about producing a family in the conventional sense, but about building a deeply committed, intentional bond between two people who choose each other fully.

Green flags: Loyal to a fault, humble, giving

Personal flaws: A little insecure and definitely too much of a workaholic, but I’m actively working on both because growth matters to me.

About my family:
A close knit nest of 4.
Dad’s retired from the forces, mother teaches English literature, brother’s in university

Requirements: (what a mess we've made out of this word, heh?)

I don't care how you look, all I care about is your character. I want to feel safe with someone. Chosen. Loved fully and intentionally. And I’ll reciprocate that with everything I have.

Someone who:

• Means what he says
• Financially stable
• Doesn’t make grand promises he can’t keep
• Is grounded and kind
• Loves animals
• Has a good sense of humour
• Is emotionally consistent
• Is loyal and serious about commitment
• Is genuinely childfree and certain about it
• Understands that if we’re investing in each other, we should both be fully present in that

I know some of my views may seem old-fashioned in 2026, but exclusivity and loyalty matter deeply to me.

And lastly, please don’t contact me if you’re manipulative, cruel, dishonest, or emotionally reckless. I’ve already spent enough time learning those lessons the hard way.

Posting on behalf of my daughter, no time waster will be accommodated.

Height and Weight, 5 feet, 50 kg.

Syed/Bukhari/Sunni.

Accommodation- Own in Lahore

Education- born and raised in dubai, O levels/then Fsc

BS Biochemistry from kinnaird college. Would like to pursue a masters from Lums later on but not a combustion.

Overall fair complexion and very pretty.

Siblings: 2 sisters, one in O levels other is doing CS from FAST lahore.

Father is an electrical engineer from UET worked for 20 years in dubai. And mother is a homemaker. Very decent and respectable family.

My daughter is very kind, very humble and very respectful, a very caring person. Only looking for Syed and saadat educated rishtas. She's a very good hearted and a person with a lot of dignity.

Deal breakers: Any past relationships or other activities like smoking, drinking is prohibited.

The family should be very well education and decent.

My family is looking for a marriage proposal for my brother in Bahawalpur. We live in Karachi, but both my mother and father are originally from Bahawalpur, so they really want a girl from there.

The problem is that wherever we go to see a proposal, the demands never seem to end. People openly ask for things like plots, gold, expensive haq mehr, and other financial commitments. Some even say things like, “If you give this now, it will only benefit your own son in the future anyway.”

What surprises me is that even families who are middle class or below are making these kinds of demands, despite not being very well-off themselves. Meanwhile, our only expectations are that the girl should be educated and pretty. We have even clearly said that we do not want dowry or anything from the girl’s side.

So my question is: is this what the marriage market is like now? Are these kinds of demands considered normal and justified, or are people simply taking advantage of the situation?

I genuinely want honest opinions and advice because this whole process has become very confusing and frustrating.
