Why Maktoubna in Utrecht

Modesty first

Your photos stay blurred until you reveal them to a match. Blurring happens on our servers, so nobody can get around it.

The wali has a place

Add your wali and share his contact details in the conversation once things become serious.

Clear intentions

Every profile states its practice, its plans and when the person hopes to marry. You know who you are talking to.

A safe setting

Report or block in two taps. Every report is reviewed by a person, and disrespectful accounts are removed.

From the first card to the proposal

Introduce yourself honestly
Your religious practice, your life plans, what you hope for in a spouse. Ten minutes is enough.
Browse compatible profiles
Right if you are interested, left if not. You only see adults of the opposite sex whose e-mail has been verified.
Talk once interest is mutual
A conversation opens only when both of you are interested. You alone decide when your photos become visible.
Bring in the families
Share your wali’s contact details in one tap and carry on the proper way.
