The Halal Hinge and the Struggles of Modern Matchmaking

Matchmaking has taken on a new form in the age of technology, with parents like the author’s mother turning to WhatsApp groups to find suitable partners for their children. These groups, filled with parents discussing deal-breakers and trading biodata, offer a unique approach to finding love online. However, they also expose parents to the common pitfalls of modern dating, such as ghosting and trolling. The author’s mother, initially hopeful about these groups, has since encountered the strange behaviors and bad manners synonymous with dating apps. Despite the challenges, she remains determined to find a truly suitable match for her daughters. This experience has opened up a dialogue between the author and her mother, allowing for a clearer understanding of what the author is looking for in a partner. In a world where it can be difficult for Muslims to find halal-constrained matches, more individuals may find themselves enlisting the help of their parents or WhatsApp aunties for assistance.
