ShaddiNikah

Pakistani rishta for families in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is two hours behind Pakistan. For a Pakistani family in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam or elsewhere in the Kingdom, ShaddiNikah offers a way to look for a rishta where religion, sect and family background are stated plainly on every profile, papers are checked by our staff, and photos and phone numbers are shared only on your terms.

Create AccountHow it works

Registering from Saudi Arabia

  • Choose Saudi Arabia as your country. Fees are charged in Saudi riyals, and the identity document is your passport.
  • The registration fee is paid once with your first month and covers the identity check. The amount is shown before you pay; plans are compared on the membership page.
  • Support is open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Pakistan time — 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Saudi Arabia.

Religion and sect on every profile

Every profile states its religion. For Muslim profiles, sect is required — Sunni, Shia, Deobandi, Barelvi, Ahl-e-Hadith or other — and so is hijab for a girl’s profile or beard for a boy’s. Your preferences use these in different ways:

  • Religion — limit suggestions to one religion. This is a firm filter and is never widened.
  • “Same sect only” — a deal-breaker. Profiles of another sect are never suggested.
  • Hijab or beard — a preference, not a filter. Profiles that match it get more weight when your daily list is ranked.

Photos on your terms

Some families prefer that a daughter’s photos are not seen by everyone. In Settings, photos can be shown to everyone who sees the profile, only after both sides have said yes, or to no one. The choice can be changed at any time. ID papers are never shown to other families whatever you choose.

Family in the Kingdom and in Pakistan

The profile records the city you live in and your home town separately, with your nationality and the city where your family lives, so relatives in Pakistan can see both. In your preferences you list the countries you would accept a rishta from — Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, both, or others.

Where the couple will live after the nikah, and any visa that involves, is for the families to settle; ShaddiNikah does not advise on immigration.

A respectful conversation

Chat opens only after both sides accept an interest, and families may read along. Phone numbers and email addresses typed into a message are removed automatically. Block and Report are in every chat, and three reports from different people start a review of that profile.

Questions

Can we see only profiles of our own sect?

Yes. Set “same sect only” as a deal-breaker and only profiles that share your sect are suggested. It is never relaxed.

Can our daughter’s photos stay hidden until both families agree?

Yes. Choose “Only after both say yes” in Settings and her photos are shown to another family only once both sides have accepted. You can also hide photos completely.

Is the fee charged in riyals?

Yes. Choosing Saudi Arabia sets the currency to Saudi riyals for both the registration fee and the plan.

Which ID is needed to register from Saudi Arabia?

Your passport. A CNIC is asked for only when Pakistan is the registration country.
