How It Works

Complete detailed questionnaire

Complete a gender specific questionnaire The questionnaire goes beyond typical questions. It asks about interests, living with in-laws, preferences for a spouse, deal breakers, etc

What happens to your information?
  • Once a single person completes the questionnaire their information is stored in a secure database
  • Personal details like name, contact details, parents’ names, etc. are kept confidential
  • A code number is assigned to each candidate to ensure confidentiality

Consultant gets to know you
  • Consultants spend some time getting to know you and then ‘enable’ your account so you can search
Your account is activated
  • As a candidate of the Shia Connections program you will be able to log in to our system and search for your spouse.  An activated account allows you to search through the database yourself to look for a potential match
  • Once your account is enabled you can search AND can be searched by other consultants and candidates
  • Only non-identifying information can be seen in a search.
  • Your information is identified ONLY by a code number.
  • Candidates who are searching will still have to go through their consultant if they find someone they are interested in
Look for your spouse!

Consultants and candidates then work together to find a match

  • Search through non-identifying information in the database to see if a match can be found
  • Once a match is found, for guiding candidates, the consultant will contact the consultant (or candidate) for that match and see if there might be some interest from their side.  For transactional candidates, candidates can message each other directly to see if there is interest.
  • Once you message someone through our system, they cannot search the system for 72 hours.  If the person responds, great, start chatting.  If they are not interested, they can decline your request and you can start searching again.  If there is no response, just wait for 72 hours to pass, and you can begin messaging a different candidate
