Should Parents be Involved?

Diary of a Matchmaker

Let's chat. Send us a private message with your thoughts and questions.

Navigating the complex waters of matchmaking can be a daunting task, especially when trying to honor the traditions and expectations of Muslim parents. In this episode we open up about our personal journeys, providing a candid look at how we managed parental involvement while seeking that special someone. From not keeping my (Hiba's) parents informed at every swipe and click on the matchmaking platform to the moment their role shifted as my relationship with Zaid deepened, we share the delicate balance between autonomy and family counsel. I (Zaid) on the other hand, reflect on the distinctive dynamics men face and the implicit trust extended by my parents in my search for a partner.
Our episode goes beyond just stories; it's the unveiling of our bespoke matchmaking service tailored for busy Muslim professionals. You'll hear about our philosophy on fostering direct, meaningful connections between potential partners—without parents on the double dates. Through an engaging real-life account, we highlight the intricacies involved when aligning the divergent paths of family hopes and personal aspirations. It's a narrative that champions the empowerment of our clients, ensuring their values and life goals are at the forefront of their matchmaking experience. Join us for an honest conversation about finding love within the beautiful tapestry of tradition and modernity.
