Welcome to Wafaq – Muslim Matrimony Platform.

Wafaq is designed to help adults seeking marriage connect with potential matrimonial partners in a respectful, safe, and marriage-focused environment.

These Community Guidelines explain the standards of behavior expected from everyone using Wafaq.

By using Wafaq, you agree to follow these Community Guidelines in addition to our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and other applicable policies.

1. Use Wafaq for Genuine Matrimonial Purposes

Wafaq is intended for adults who are genuinely interested in finding a potential marriage partner.

You must not use Wafaq primarily for:

• Casual dating or hookups
• Sexual encounters or services
• Advertising or commercial solicitation
• Recruiting members for unrelated services
• Financial schemes or investment opportunities
• Scams or fraudulent activities
• Promoting unrelated websites, applications, or businesses
• Any unlawful purpose

Members should communicate honestly about their intentions.

2. Be Honest About Who You Are

Your profile should accurately represent you.

You must not:

• Pretend to be another person
• Create a fake identity
• Intentionally provide a false age
• Intentionally misrepresent your marital status
• Use another person's photographs as your own
• Create deceptive or misleading profiles
• Falsely claim qualifications, employment, or other important personal information
• Impersonate another Wafaq member

Where Wafaq provides verification features, verification does not guarantee that every statement made by a member is accurate.

3. One Person, One Genuine Profile

Accounts are intended for individual use.

You should not create multiple accounts for deceptive purposes, to manipulate the platform, or to avoid restrictions placed on another account.

Creating another account to circumvent a suspension or permanent ban may result in additional accounts being restricted or removed.

4. Respect Other Members

Treat other members with dignity and respect.

The following behavior is not permitted:

• Harassment
• Bullying
• Threats
• Intimidation
• Stalking
• Persistent unwanted communication
• Insults or degrading behavior
• Blackmail or extortion
• Discriminatory abuse
• Deliberately humiliating another member

If another member clearly indicates that they do not wish to continue communicating, respect their decision.

5. Keep Communication Appropriate

Wafaq is a matrimonial platform, and communication should remain appropriate to that purpose.

Do not send:

• Unsolicited sexually explicit messages
• Pornographic content
• Unwanted intimate photographs
• Graphic sexual content
• Threatening messages
• Abusive or hateful messages
• Repeated unwanted messages
• Content intended to pressure or manipulate another member

Never pressure another member to send photographs, personal information, money, or private material.

6. Profile Photos

Profile photographs should be genuine and appropriate.

You should upload photographs that:

• Represent you accurately
• Belong to you or that you have permission to use
• Are appropriate for a matrimonial platform
• Do not intentionally mislead other members

You must not upload:

• Pornographic or sexually explicit images
• Images displaying nudity
• Another person's photograph presented as your own
• Violent or disturbing imagery
• Images promoting hatred or unlawful activities
• Images containing malicious or deceptive material

Wafaq may remove photographs that violate these Guidelines.

7. Protect Personal Privacy

Respect the privacy of other members.

You must not publish, distribute, sell, or misuse another member's private information without appropriate permission.

This may include:

• Phone numbers
• Email addresses
• Home addresses
• Workplace information
• Private photographs
• Private conversations
• Identification documents
• Financial information
• Other confidential information

Do not use information obtained through Wafaq to harass, threaten, embarrass, or harm another person.

8. No Scams or Financial Exploitation

Wafaq has zero tolerance for scams and deliberate financial exploitation.

You must not use Wafaq to:

• Request money under false pretenses
• Operate romance scams
• Promote fraudulent investments
• Request cryptocurrency as part of a scam
• Obtain banking credentials
• Obtain passwords or verification codes
• Conduct phishing
• Manipulate another member into providing money or valuable property
• Promote pyramid schemes or fraudulent financial opportunities

Be cautious if someone you meet through Wafaq requests money, especially if you have never met them in person.

Suspicious financial requests should be reported.

9. No Commercial Solicitation or Spam

Do not use Wafaq primarily to advertise or sell unrelated products or services.

Prohibited activities may include:

• Mass messaging
• Spam
• Unsolicited advertisements
• Affiliate marketing
• Recruiting for unrelated platforms
• Promoting unrelated businesses
• Sending repetitive promotional links

Legitimate personal discussion about your profession or business is not automatically prohibited, but Wafaq should not be used primarily as a marketing platform.

10. No Hate, Violence, or Extremism

Content or behavior that promotes or encourages violence, terrorism, extremist activity, or hatred against people or protected groups is prohibited.

Threats of violence or credible safety concerns may result in immediate account restrictions and, where appropriate and legally permitted, referral to relevant authorities.

11. No Illegal Activity

You may not use Wafaq to facilitate, promote, organize, or participate in unlawful activity.

This includes attempts to use the platform for fraud, exploitation, trafficking, illegal goods or services, or other criminal activities.

12. Respect Boundaries and Consent

Every member has the right to decide:

• Whether to communicate with another member
• What personal information to share
• Whether to share photographs
• Whether to exchange contact information
• Whether to meet in person
• Whether to continue a conversation or relationship

Do not pressure, threaten, manipulate, or repeatedly contact someone who has declined your interest or asked you to stop communicating.

13. Meetings Outside Wafaq

Wafaq does not supervise meetings between members.

If you choose to meet another member in person, consider taking reasonable safety precautions, including:

• Meeting in a public place
• Informing someone you trust about the meeting
• Arranging your own transportation
• Avoiding sharing sensitive financial information
• Avoiding sending money before or after meeting someone solely because they requested it
• Ending the meeting if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable

You remain responsible for your own decisions regarding meetings and relationships.

14. Family and Guardian Involvement

Wafaq recognizes that family or guardian involvement may be important to some members when seeking marriage.

Members may choose to involve family members, guardians, or trusted individuals in their matrimonial process where appropriate.

However, another person's involvement does not give them permission to misuse another member's account, impersonate the account holder, harass members, or violate these Guidelines.

15. Reporting a Member

If you encounter behavior that appears to violate these Community Guidelines, please use Wafaq's available Report or Block features.

Reports may include concerns involving:

• Fake profiles
• Fraud or scams
• Harassment
• Threats
• Inappropriate sexual content
• Impersonation
• Suspicious financial requests
• Spam
• Underage users
• Other serious violations

You may also contact:

Wafaq Support
Email: [email protected]

Please provide relevant information about the issue without unnecessarily sharing sensitive personal information.

16. Blocking Members

Where the feature is available, you may block another member if you no longer wish to interact with them.

Attempting to circumvent another member's block by creating additional accounts or using other Wafaq accounts to continue unwanted contact may result in account restrictions.

17. False or Abusive Reports

Wafaq encourages genuine safety reports.

However, intentionally submitting false reports to harass, retaliate against, intimidate, or unfairly target another member is prohibited.

A disagreement or rejected matrimonial interest does not by itself mean that another member has violated these Guidelines.

18. Enforcement

When Wafaq becomes aware of a potential violation, we may review relevant information and take action appropriate to the circumstances.

Actions may include:

• Warning the member
• Removing content or photographs
• Restricting certain features
• Restricting communication
• Requesting additional verification
• Temporarily suspending an account
• Permanently terminating an account
• Taking other reasonable safety or security measures

Serious violations may result in immediate restrictions without a prior warning where appropriate.

19. Account Verification

Wafaq may request additional information or verification where reasonably necessary to:

• Reduce fake accounts
• Investigate suspicious activity
• Protect members
• Prevent fraud
• Confirm account information
• Maintain platform integrity
• Comply with applicable legal requirements

Verification does not constitute a guarantee or endorsement of a member's identity, character, background, intentions, or suitability for marriage.

20. Your Responsibility

Wafaq provides tools that help members discover and communicate with potential matrimonial partners.

You remain responsible for evaluating other members and making your own decisions concerning:

• Communication
• Sharing personal information
• Meetings
• Relationships
• Engagement
• Marriage
• Financial decisions

Take reasonable precautions and report suspicious behavior.

21. Changes to These Guidelines

Wafaq may update these Community Guidelines from time to time to reflect changes to the Service, safety practices, legal requirements, or community standards.

The current version will display the latest Last Updated date.

Where required by applicable law, Wafaq will take reasonable steps to notify users of material changes.
