How to find a rishta online
From a free profile to meeting families — search, see each match with its reasons, exchange messages and make voice or video calls, without either of you ever seeing the other's phone number.
Nine steps, at your own pace
Your journey on RishteDesk
-
1
Create your free account
Sign up with your email, or continue with Google or Facebook. It takes a minute and no card is needed.
-
2
Confirm you are real
Verify your email address. One person, one profile — that is what keeps RishteDesk worth being on. Your number is stored encrypted and never shown to another member.
-
3
Build your profile
Seven short sections: who you are, your faith and practice, education and work, family, lifestyle, your own words, and what you are looking for. It saves as you go.
-
4
A person reviews it
Every profile is read by our team before it goes live — nothing is published automatically. You get an email when yours is live.
-
5
Decide who sees what
Each field has its own visibility setting, and photos can stay private until you approve a request. Your phone number and email are never shown, whatever you choose.
-
6
Find your matches
Search with detailed filters, or open your matches: each one shows why it was suggested and where you differ. Set non-negotiables so the wrong matches stay out of the way.
-
7
Send and receive interests
When someone catches your eye, send an interest — or a super interest to stand out. They decide in their own time, and a conversation opens only when both sides accept.
-
8
Talk safely
Chat, then move to voice or video calls inside RishteDesk. Contact details are removed from messages automatically, and calls are not recorded.
-
9
Bring the families together
Parents, siblings or a wali can take part openly at any point. When you are ready, meet in person — our safety tips explain how to do it well.

Questions
Common questions about getting started
How long does profile review take?
Profiles are reviewed in the order they arrive, and you receive an email the moment yours is live.
Who can see my profile?
Only signed-in members, within the limits you set for each field. Profiles never appear in Google or any other search engine.
Can my family help?
Yes. A parent, sibling or guardian can help manage your profile, and a wali can join a conversation — always visibly, never as a hidden observer.
Is there an app?
An Android app is on its way, with the same account as the website. Until then, RishteDesk works fully in any phone browser.
