Muslim Dating Stays Steeped In TraditionNavigating love in a world without dating is something that is foreign to many singles outside of Islam, but for Muslims that continue to uphold long-held traditions as they relate to dating, it is simply the only way of life. During a traditional Muslim matrimonial courtship, physical contact is forbidden, face to face meetings must be attended by a third party and only conversations of a non-sexual nature are permitted.
As this recent article describes, maintaining the traditional Islamic form of dating and marriage is something held dear by those that participate in it and perhaps confusing to those that do not. The thought of not ever kissing your spouse before the wedding day is something that would be met largely with astonishment among those not prescribed to this traditional form of dating.
However, valuing a strong religious foundation is something that many daters, both online and off, name as a top priority when dating someone and just as finding someone strong in the Christian faith can be the driving motivation for some, finding someone strong in the traditional form of Islamic dating can be a driving motivation for another. Though some may misunderstand, these are not arranged marriages by any means and marrying against your will is certainly not a part of the process.
Online dating has moved to serve this contingent, especially Christian daters, and has done so for those seeking a traditional Islamic courtship as well. Because conversations are perfectly permissible, some daters value the extra barrier of a computer interface as a kind of failsafe for maintaining distance and staying true to traditional tenets. These are the types of situations where online dating truly shines, offering an easy-to-use solution for those with specific needs and constraints that are best served through an online dating site that understands and caters to those needs.
