Find a life partner
Shadi and marriage matchmaking in Pakistan and India
A shadi search is about finding someone to build a life with. MatchHalf helps adults seeking marriage in Pakistan, India, and abroad explore matrimonial profiles, express their preferences, and connect with people who share their values.
Shadi and shaadi refer to marriage, written as شادی in Urdu and शादी in Hindi. You may also call your journey a rishta search or use the word lagan. Whatever words you use, the goal is the same: a compatible life partner and a considered decision about your future.
Start your shadi searchHow to start your marriage partner search
Step 1
Create an honest matrimonial profile
Share your background, interests, and what marriage means to you. Describe your everyday life and long-term plans so someone can understand more than just your photograph. Only share details you are comfortable making available to other members.
Step 2
Set your partner preferences
Think about location, education, lifestyle, culture, faith, and family expectations. Separate your essential preferences from areas where you are open to learning about someone different. Clear expectations make a rishta search more thoughtful.
Step 3
Explore profiles and talk about compatibility
Review suggested matches and decide who you want to connect with. Ask about family involvement, career plans, where you would live, and what a shared future might look like. A compatibility indicator is a starting point for conversation, not a promise of a successful marriage.
Step 4
Take your time and protect your privacy
Use profile visibility controls and review verification information. Optional photo verification checks resemblance; it does not establish legal identity or guarantee safety. Avoid sending money or sensitive documents to someone you have just met, and use reporting tools when needed.
