Mawaddah — Halal matching for a US community
Overview
A halal marriage app for a small US community.
Built for people looking for marriage, not casual dating.
Problem
Existing apps were made for fun and play.
This community needed something serious, with real rules.
Solution
Guardian supervision, built in.
Family oversight is a core rule, and real people use it today.
What We Built
Every role. Every flow. Built to earn trust.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Match Discovery
Browse and filter verified profiles. Send, receive, and manage interests with a pending-interests queue to track where each connection stands.
Admin Dashboard
Full platform oversight — user management, verification review, document inspection, and approve/reject controls. Built to keep the platform trustworthy at scale.
In Development
Messaging, advanced search & filtering, safety and moderation tools, push notifications, and premium subscription tiers are planned for the next phase.
