What people ask us.

Applying is free, and it stays free while your profile is with us. There is nothing to pay to be considered. Our fee is not a fixed price list. We discuss it with you after we have met, once we both understand what you are looking for and what the work involves.

Only our matchmakers. Your profile is never published, never indexed by search engines, and never visible to other applicants. Your phone number and email are restricted at the database level, so even within our own team they are only accessible to staff whose role permits it.

They are stored privately and served only to authorised staff. There is no public link to any photograph on RishtaLink, and one cannot be created. Location data embedded by your camera is stripped from every image on upload. Photographs are shared with another family only once both sides have expressed interest and you have consented.

A matchmaker reviews your application within a few business days. Beyond that, honestly, it varies: a rishta depends on who is looking at the same time, and we would rather wait for something suitable than send you something that is not. Your matchmaker will keep you updated either way.

Yes. We work with Pakistani families in the UK, the US, the Gulf, Canada, and Australia, whether you are looking for a match locally, back home, or either.

At any time, for any reason, without explaining yourself. Contact us and we will archive your information in line with our data protection policy.

No. Everyone who applies is looking to get married, introductions are made by a matchmaker rather than by browsing, and there is no messaging between applicants. If you are not at that stage, we are not the right place yet.
