Overview

AserioushalalmatchingappforasmallUScommunity.

Built for people looking for marriage — not a casual dating app.
Problem

Existingappswereforfunandplay.

This community needed something serious: a halal marriage app, with real rules.

The client required family oversight. We shipped it as a core rule of the product — and real people are using it.
Approach

Listentotherules.Buildtheproduct.Shipit.

We took the client’s requirements — especially guardian supervision — and delivered a full product. The client was satisfied.

What We Built

Every role. Every flow. Built to earn trust.

01

Multi-Role Authentication

Separate sign-up and sign-in flows for brides, grooms, guardians, and admins — with email verification, Google OAuth, password reset, and JWT sessions.

02

Guardian Approval Flow

The platform's core differentiator. Before a bride can participate, her guardian receives an email confirmation and gains oversight access. Family involvement is a built-in requirement, not an option.

03

Rich Profile System

Comprehensive profiles covering personal, religious, contact, family, and preference data — with photo upload and granular visibility controls so users decide who sees what.

04

Identity Verification

Document upload, Stripe-powered verification payment, and a full admin review queue with approve/reject workflow — ensuring every verified member has been validated.

05

Matrimonial Cards

Curated cards that present each member for browsing. Editable by the member, reviewed by admin, and designed to surface what matters most in a marriage decision.

06

Match Discovery

Browse and filter verified profiles. Send, receive, and manage interests with a pending-interests queue to track where each connection stands.

07

Admin Dashboard

Full platform oversight — user management, verification review, document inspection, and approve/reject controls. Built to keep the platform trustworthy at scale.

08

In Development

Messaging, advanced search & filtering, safety and moderation tools, push notifications, and premium subscription tiers are planned for the next phase.
