Diary of a Matchmaker

By: Halal Match
  • Summary

  • Getting married is tough for the vast majority of Muslims in the West. We know because we’ve been there. My (Zaid) journey spanned nearly nine years. It was filled with rejections and self-doubt. While I (Hiba) didn't know there was a journey to be on in the first place. After we got married we decided to create something different to help single Muslims complete their deen. And so our matchmaking service Halal Match was born.

    After a few years of interviewing singles, a friend suggested we journal our stories. We tweaked that idea and turned it into a podcast. In ‘Diary of a Matchmaker’ we’ll take you through this unfamiliar world of matchmaking. We’ll share our stories, experiences, and much more. So say Bismillah and tune in.

    What if a simple piece of paper could dictate the course of your life's most personal decision? Today we unravel the world of Biodatas, questioning whether this 'marriage resume' truly captures the essence of a person or merely reflects outdated societal norms. From personal stories of arranged marriage proposals to the cultural expectations that surround them, we shed light on the double standards and frustrations that come with being judged by family prestige and hierarchical status.
