What makes this different

Built around trust, not traffic

Your privacy is the default

Every field on your profile has its own visibility setting. Your contact details are not one of them — they are never shown to anyone, at any setting.

Families belong here

A parent, sibling, guardian or authorised matchmaker can manage a profile, and a wali can sit in a conversation — visibly, never hidden from the other side.

Checked by people

Every profile is reviewed by hand before it goes live. A verification badge only appears when that verification actually happened.

What a verified badge tells you

Badges are earned in steps. Each one appears only after a person on our team has checked the evidence, and each tells other families something specific.

How rishtas come together

What a RishteDesk journey looks like

Illustrative journey

A mother builds the profile

Lahore and Dubai

Her mother created and managed the profile. His sister joined the conversation openly as wali. After three video calls inside RishteDesk — no numbers shared — the two families met in person.

Same values, two countries

Toronto and Lahore

He searched within his own faith and turned on travel mode before a visit home. Their Why-this-match note showed the same outlook on family and work. Both families took it from there.

Verified first, then trust

Karachi

Both verified their profiles before sending an interest, and kept their photos private until each approved the other. Their conversation stayed on RishteDesk until their families were ready to meet.

These are illustrative journeys showing how families use RishteDesk. They are not real couples, and the photographs are stock images. Real stories will appear here only with each couple's permission, in their own words. Married through RishteDesk? Share your story →

Questions

Questions families ask first

Is RishteDesk free?

Yes. Creating a profile, browsing and replying to anyone who contacts you are free, and no card is needed. Paid memberships add more interests, filters and features; they are billed in Pakistani rupees.

Is RishteDesk only for Muslims?

No. RishteDesk is for Pakistani families of every faith — Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Parsi and others. You choose your religion on your profile and can search within it or across faiths.

Will my phone number or email be shown to other members?

Never. Contact details are removed from messages automatically, and voice and video calls run inside RishteDesk without either side seeing a number.

How do I know a profile is genuine?

Every profile is reviewed before it goes live, and verification badges — contact, photo, identity and full — appear only after the evidence has been checked. You can search for verified profiles only.

Can my family be involved?

Yes. A parent, sibling or guardian can help manage a profile, and a wali can join a conversation openly, visible to both sides.
