    Step 2

    Your profile is reviewed

    Once your e-mail address is verified, our team reviews every profile before it becomes visible. You can also have your identity verified, if you wish.

    Step 3

    Receive your daily suggestions

    A few profiles chosen each day, never an endless feed. You pass, or you express an interest.

  4. The couple facing each other, full length, in their wedding attire.

    Talk, with modesty

    A conversation opens when the interest is mutual. A blurred photo stays blurred until its owner decides to make it visible.

Why Dewalya?

Our vision.

Dewalya was born from a conviction: great changes begin with a personal decision. The decision to build, with seriousness and sincerity, a family that brings peace.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ

“Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.”
Surah Ar-Ra'd (13), verse 11

This verse inspired the creation of Dewalya. It reminds us that every collective transformation begins within each of us.

We believe digital tools can serve what is best: a space of trust, respect and benevolence around marriage. Dewalya is for everyone whose approach is sincere. Each moves at their own pace, in dignity and serenity.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered.

The questions people ask us most often before signing up.

What is Dewalya?

Dewalya is a marriage platform for Muslims in Africa and the diaspora who want to get married. People come here with a clear intention: to build a family, in keeping with Islamic and family values.

How is it different from a dating app?

There is no endless scrolling and no game. Each day, Dewalya shows you a few profiles chosen with care. A conversation only opens when the interest is mutual, and every profile is reviewed by our team before it becomes visible.

Is Dewalya free?

Yes, the essentials are free: creating your profile, being reviewed by the team, browsing profiles, sending interests, talking after a mutual interest, blurring your photos and inviting your wali.

Who can see my photos?

Only signed-in members see photos, and only after the team has approved them. You can blur your photos at any time: they then stay blurred for every member until you decide to make them visible. The app tells you what this choice changes for you, for example when taking the first step.

Can I involve my family?

Yes. From “My wali”, you invite a trusted relative (your father, mother, brother, sister, aunt…) by WhatsApp or e-mail. They do not need an account: a link is enough.

Your wali sees the encounters you choose to share: the person’s first name, age, city and profession, and how your conversation is progressing. They never see your messages or photos, and you can remove their access at any time.

How does Dewalya protect against fake profiles and scams?

Every e-mail address is verified, every profile and photo is reviewed by the team, and identity verification is offered. A button lets you report or block someone from their profile or the conversation, and every report is reviewed by a person.

Advice that holds everywhere: never send money to someone you met online.
