Muzmich: "Muslims don't date, they get married", what legal controversy does the popular marriage app face

 Muzmich: "Muslims don't date, they get married", what legal controversy does the popular marriage app face?



 The search for Ragheed's husband from Syria ended with the help of a dating app in just 24 hours as they found a good partner through the app in the case of Ibrahim, a Lebanese citizen, and within a few days they got married.  Done.


 With the help of this app, Rumi and Fatima got together and within two weeks of meeting, they got married.  

A similar story is told of Hussein, a Lebanese citizen, and Mary, an African woman who recently got married during the Corona epidemic.


 The dating app on which all the couples met is called 'Miz Match' which helps Muslim users to find their partner.


 But Maz Match now faces legal difficulties.

 The company, which owns dating apps such as Tinder and Match, has filed lawsuits against Mazmich in various courts in England and the United States for copyright infringement.


 Mazmich was started as a website by Shehzad Younis of Pakistani origin in 2011.  Shahzad was a banker by profession.  

Shehzad recently quoted the case on his Twitter account as saying that the case would be heard in a British court on January 17 and 18, 2022.


 It should be noted that the match group has made several attempts to buy Maz match but so far this group has failed.


 Speaking to the BBC in 2019, Shehzad Younis said that "at that time there were either very simple websites for Muslims or big dating apps that did not understand our culture at all."


 "In Muslim society, many of us have relied on matchmakers for marriage and still do," he said. 

 There are 'relative aunts' in the community who know the families and they introduce the son of one family to the daughter of another family.


 But a new solution is needed for the new age and this was realized by Shahzad Younis. How does Mazmich work?

 According to the company, it is a 'meeting place for unmarried (single) Muslims', which has a similar procedure to other dating apps on which users register themselves and make it possible for them based on the information provided by the users themselves. 

 Partners are recommended.



 As it aims to help Muslim users find a mate for themselves, the app offers users a relationship based on their personal and religious preferences.  

Such as religion, sect, praying or not praying, drinking and smoking habits etc.


 The company claims that by December 2021, 5 million users had registered on the app, of which more than 1.5 million have successfully found their partner.
