The point of a matrimonial website is to meet your potential partner. The website is supposed to be a nothing more than a platform on which you meet other Muslims who you may have something in common with. A fee is paid with this in mind. It is not paid for administrators to moderate your communications with other members like teachers overseeing a classroom.
The trouble with this website is not really the members. It is the administrators. They will ban you for no reason. No explanations are given whatsoever. One day you will receive an email telling you that your profile has been removed for violating the terms and conditions of the website. It is entirely possible that the complaint is unwarranted. It is also possible that an official complaint was never made against you. No evidence of inappropriate communication is provided and no details are provided of the particular term or condition you have breached.
Many people have complained of the same thing. Reading the reviews of the website seem to suggest that the website is nothing more than a money-making scam. A quick check on Companies House reveals that the company has cash in the bank of £48,000. As a former user I can safely say that the administrators communicate with users in a way that seems to suggest that their only interest in their users is financial which would be fine if the manner in which that interest was pursued was not also fraudulent. For example, if you are engaged in conversation with a potential match the administrators will ban you forcing you into another subscription. It really is that bad, it has happened to me twice.
The website is paid for by male members only. According to its terms and conditions this is because Muslim females find it difficult to find a match because of their situation or something along those lines. This model is ripe for abuse. A male member is to pay 29 pounds a month. If the website was not a scan it would reduce the cost of the male membership and make females pay the difference but they do not do that. It is far easier to populate the website with fake female profiles and then ban the paying members who communicate with them inexplicably. It is a sophisticated but one which works effectively.
The founder of the website, Adeem Younis, who prioritises Islamic values to the T on his website has traded his religion for profit and his "administration team' are nothing more than stooges ensuring the cash keeps flowing from members forced to pay to use this "service". This is not a matrimonial website. It is a scam and should be avoided.
In summary, I would not recommend Single Muslim to a friend.
