/ Your safety tools[002]

You are always in control.

Every tool is one or two taps away.

  • Block anyone, at any time. They are not told.
  • Report a profile or chat for inappropriate photos, a fake profile, harassment, a scam, or anything else.
  • Unmatch to end a conversation whenever you want.
  • Choose who sees you: everyone, only your matches, or only people you have liked.
  • Photo blur and a 6-digit passcode lock.
  • Deactivate to hide your profile while you take a break.
/ Community guidelines[003]

Treat every member like family.

Everyone on Rabta agrees to these guidelines. They sit alongside our Terms of Use.

Do

  • Be here for marriage, and say so honestly.
  • Use your own recent photos and true details.
  • Speak with the respect you would want shown to your own family.
  • Keep conversations modest and halal.
  • Take your time, and involve your family when you are ready.
  • Report anything that feels wrong.

Don't

  • Create a fake or misleading profile, or pretend to be someone else.
  • Harass, abuse, threaten or intimidate anyone.
  • Send or upload offensive, obscene or hateful content.
  • Ask anyone for money, or send commercial messages or spam.
  • Share another member's private information without their consent.
  • Use bots, scripts or automated tools, or try to get into other accounts.
  • Use Rabta if you are under 18.
Breaking the guidelines can mean removed content, a restricted account, or a permanent ban. Serious cases, and anything that puts a child at risk, are reported to the authorities.

Six habits for a safe search.

Good sense, and the way families have always done it.

01Stay in the app at first

Chat and call inside Rabta before you share your number or social media.

02Video call before you meet

A video call is a simple way to see that someone is who they say they are.

03Never send money

No genuine match will ask for money, gifts or your bank details. If they do, report them.

04Involve your family

A wali or a trusted family member can be part of the process from the very start.

05Meet in public

For first meetings choose a public place, ideally with family, and tell someone where you are going.

06Trust your instincts

If something feels wrong, block and report. You never owe anyone an explanation.

/ Report a concern[005]

If something is wrong, tell us.

In the app: use Report on the person's profile or in your chat with them. You can block them at the same time.

By email: write to [email protected] with the member's name and what happened.

A child at risk: email us at once, or report to the NCMEC CyberTipline.

If you are in danger, contact your local emergency services first.

Who can join Rabta?

Adults aged 18 and over. Date of birth is required when you sign up, and anyone under 18 is blocked from registering. An account found to belong to a minor is removed.

How do I report someone?

Use Report on the person's profile or in your chat with them, and choose a reason: inappropriate photos, a fake or misleading profile, harassment, a scam or fraud, or something else. Our team reads every report.

Will someone know if I block them?

No. Blocking is silent: the other person is not told.

What happens to members who break the rules?

Depending on what happened, we remove content, restrict the account while we look into it, or suspend and remove it. Child exploitation is removed at once, banned permanently and reported to the authorities.

Does verification mean someone is safe?

Verification tells you the person in the photos took the selfie. It cannot tell you about their character, so take your time, involve your family and follow the tips on this page.
