A rishta service built around one rule
Nothing personal leaves your profile until you personally allow it.
Why we started
Ask any Pakistani family why they have not put a rishta profile online. You will hear the same two answers.
- We do not want our daughter's photograph circulating.
- We do not want strangers to have our phone number.
Both are reasonable, and most matrimonial sites simply ignore them. Pay the fee, take the database, message anyone. That model works for dating. It does not work for a rishta, where the family decides together and reputation cannot be repaired once it is damaged.
So we built it the way families asked. Full biodata, open to everyone. Photographs and numbers, open to nobody until the member releases them, one person at a time. And no messaging at all, because a chat inbox is exactly what families are afraid of.
What we are not
Every line below is a deliberate absence, not a feature we have yet to build.
- A dating app
- Chat, an inbox, or direct messaging
- Swiping
- “Who viewed you”
- Anonymous browsing of your photographs
- A network that wants your attention for its own sake
Find a rishta, delete your profile in three weeks, and we have done our job.
Our undertakings
What we hold ourselves to
Six commitments, and what each one actually obliges us to do. None of them has an exception for staff.
- Consent before disclosure
- No photograph and no phone number is released to another member without an explicit accept from the profile owner. There is no administrative override for this, and staff cannot release your details on request.
- Honest listings
- We do not invent members to look bigger than we are, and we never quote a database figure we cannot stand behind. What you see is what is here.
- No selling your data
- We do not sell, rent or share member data with advertisers, marketing companies or other matrimonial services. Payment processing is the only third party that touches your information.
- Plain pricing
- One package, one price, and it expires by itself. We never store a card, so nothing can renew behind your back. Fees are non-refundable and we say so before you pay rather than after.
- Real moderation
- Our rishta consultants review profiles after they are published, and read them again when they change. It is not a guarantee of anybody's identity or background, and we never call it one. Reports are reviewed by a person too. Profiles found to be fake, married, or misrepresenting immigration status are removed without refund.
- A way out
- You can pause your profile, revoke photo access you previously granted, or delete your account and all associated data permanently, from your dashboard.
The business behind it
How ByahMe is run
ByahMe is independent, and paid for entirely by the people who use it. There are no investors to satisfy and no advertisers to sell you to — which is why there is one price, published openly, and why nothing here is designed to keep you on the site longer than you need to be.
That also decides what we can never be asked to do. A service with advertisers has a reason to want your attention and your data. A service paid for by its members has a reason to want you married and gone.

Our position
Ethics and social responsibility
A rishta service sits inside people's private lives at the most consequential moment in them. That access has to be earned, and it can be lost in a single careless decision. What follows is written plainly so you can hold us to it.
-
No chat, on purpose
Every harm we wanted to design out — harassment, pressure, months of private messaging behind a family's back — travels through a chat box. So we did not build one. It costs us engagement, and we consider that a fair price.
-
Dignity for second marriages
Divorced, widowed, khula, separated and those seeking a second marriage are full members here, not a discounted category. They are not filtered into a side listing and their profiles carry no mark of difference. In our experience these families are treated worst by the traditional process, which is precisely why they are treated the same as everyone else here.
-
Every profession belongs
Our profession list runs from surgeon to welder to farmer to homemaker, because a service that only lists doctors and engineers is telling everyone else they are not worth listing. A carpenter in Gujrat deserves the same profile page as a consultant in Manchester.
-
No dowry, no brokering
We take no commission on a marriage, we do not broker introductions for a fee behind the scenes, and we will not host profiles that state dowry expectations. Our only income is the membership fee, which is published on the pricing page and is the same for everyone.
-
Safeguarding
Members must be 18 or over and legally free to marry. Reports of coercion, misrepresentation of marital status, or pressure on a woman to accept a proposal are treated as removal matters, not customer service disputes. Report anything at complaints@byahme.com.
We keep a standing allocation of free memberships for families who genuinely cannot afford the fee — widows, orphaned young people arranging their own marriage, and families supported by registered welfare organisations. There is no form and no means test to argue through. Write to support@byahme.com and say so, and it is granted quietly.
