How Rafique works
Nothing moves forward without you agreeing to it.
- 01
Create your account
Sign up with your email and phone number. If you're a woman, you can connect a wali account now or later.
- 02
Fill out your bio data
A questionnaire about you, your faith, your family, your work and what you're looking for. Only our matchmakers can see it.
- 03
A matchmaker reviews it
Your non-negotiables become hard filters. A matchmaker reads the bio data on both sides and decides whether to propose an introduction.
- 04
You get a match
We ask each of you whether you're still looking. The introduction only goes ahead if you both say yes. You still can't see each other's bio data.
- 05
Meet on a video call
The call happens inside Rafique. Your wali joins as a viewer.
- 06
Chat and read each other's bio data
A chat opens and you can each read the other person's bio data. Your wali can read the messages but can't send any.
- 07
Decide

You can always come back.
If a match didn't end in marriage, log in and tell us. You'll check your bio data and you're back in the pool.
Common questions
Something else? Send us a message.
Is Rafique free?
Yes. Right now everything is free.
Can I browse profiles?
No, and nobody can browse yours.
Is it people or AI making the matches?
People. Software helps narrow the pool, but a matchmaker makes every match.
What does my wali see?
Your chats and video calls.
What if it doesn't work out?
Tell us and you're back in the pool, whether it's right after an introduction or months later.
