Serious Somali Marriage

Marriage,the Somali way.

Somali Guur is the family-conscious app for Somalis worldwide who are serious about marriage. Wali introductions, photo privacy, qabiil-aware compatibility, and respectful conversation — built for nikaah, not casual dating.

A Manifesto

Generic dating apps were not made for Somali marriage.
So we built one that is.

Wali first-class. Qabiil with privacy controls. Photo reveals you actually own. Verification that means something. Compatibility shaped by prayer level, marriage timeline, and family involvement — not endless swipe loops. Every detail exists because real halal marriage works that way.

What makes it different

Built for marriage.
Not for swiping.

Six pillars hold up the entire platform. Each one is a deliberate choice — and a refusal to compromise on what serious Somali marriage requires.

Wali-aware

Bring your wali into the conversation when both sides are ready. Wali introductions, contact reveals, and family-stage messaging are first-class — not a side feature.

Qabiil with privacy

Qabiil is required for everyone, but you choose who sees it: public, matches only, after the Wali step, or hidden entirely. Trust without exposure.

Photo reveal you control

Keep photos private until you're comfortable. Approve photo reveals one match at a time, and revoke access anytime. No pressure, ever.

Verified members

Selfie verification keeps the community real. Look for the verified badge on profiles you can trust — and earn yours in under two minutes.

Compatibility, Somali-first

Prayer level, marriage timeline, family involvement, relocation — the questions that actually matter to a Somali marriage decision.

Diaspora-aware

Match with Somalis in the country, region, or diaspora that fits your life — Mogadishu, Nairobi, Minneapolis, London, anywhere.

How it works

A clear path,
not endless swiping.

Three deliberate stages. Each one moves you closer to a real decision — together.

01

Match with intent

Build a real profile — photos, qabiil, marriage timeline, prayer level, Wali contact. Match on compatibility, not on noise.

02

Bring Wali in

Once you're both serious, request a Wali introduction. Contact details stay private until accepted by both sides.

03

Move toward nikaah

Family introduction, nikaah discussion, proceeding toward marriage — track real progress, not just messages.

Wali & family

Family is part of the journey,
not an afterthought.

On most apps, family shows up at the end — if at all. On Somali Guur, they're part of the design. Wali contact details are protected until both sides agree. Family-progress steps mark when families have been introduced, when nikaah is being discussed, and when a couple is proceeding toward marriage.

  • Wali phone & relationship stored privately on your profile.
  • Wali request flow with clear pending / accepted / declined states.
  • Contact reveal only after the Wali request is accepted.
  • Family progress card tracks the path toward nikaah.

From match to nikaah

A real, visible path. Every stage is shared and acknowledged by both sides — no guessing where things stand.

Trust by design

Privacy, etiquette, and marriage-first intent.

Private by default

Photos blurred. Qabiil gated. Contact details protected. You decide when to reveal — and you can revoke anytime.

Respectful by design

Etiquette oath at signup. Report & block built in. Active moderation team reviewing flags within 24 hours.

Marriage-first

No casual dating prompts. No endless swipe loops. Just a clear, dignified path toward nikaah.

Common questions

Things people always ask.

Is Somali Guur free?+

Yes — core matching, chat, Wali request and photo reveal are all free. Gold is an optional premium tier with extras like seeing who liked you, advanced filters, and boosts.

Why is qabiil required?+

Qabiil is part of how Somali marriage works in real life. We collect it so the system can support compatibility and family conversations — but each user controls who can see it: publicly, matches only, after the Wali step, or hidden entirely.

What does Wali-friendly mean here?+

Wali contact details are stored on your profile but never visible to other users until a Wali introduction request is accepted by both sides. The whole flow is built around respectful family involvement.

Is Somali Guur for casual dating?+

No. Somali Guur is built for serious halal marriage. The etiquette oath at signup makes that explicit, and our moderation team enforces it.

Who can use Somali Guur?+

Anyone 18+ who is serious about Somali marriage. Diaspora users are first-class — match anywhere in the world.

How is my data protected?+

See the full privacy policy. Short version: data is used to operate the service, support halal introductions, and protect users. We do not sell personal data.

Marriage starts with one serious step.
