What a wali does here
A guardian can be linked to a member’s profile with explicit permissions: viewing introductions, approving conversations, and joining family-to-family messaging. Nothing happens in a wali’s name without their knowledge.
In Shia nikah the wali is not an obstacle to work around — rulings vary by marja and circumstance, but family involvement is the norm, so the platform is built around it.
A guardian can be linked to a member’s profile with explicit permissions: viewing introductions, approving conversations, and joining family-to-family messaging. Nothing happens in a wali’s name without their knowledge.
When both sides are serious, introductions can move from individuals to families, with the wali included from the first message rather than informed after the fact.
Guardian involvement never means publishing private details. Contact information stays hidden, photos follow the member’s privacy tier, and every permission a guardian holds is visible to the member and revocable.
Questions, privacy requests or takedown requests go through our contact form, which reaches the operations team directly.
