how do I get married?

[abuadila]

asalamu alaykum, I want to get married I live in USA, I would prefer a sister from Asia, preferably south east Asia (like Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan and India is good too,

note: please do not be offended by my preference


and yes I'm definitely willing to travel because I want to make hijrah ASAP,
but how do I go about it?, I have spoken to imam's, but really haven't much luck,

so how would I contact or find a wakil for a sister?, and if she is in another country its no problem at all,

I think you need something like a travel agent for that bro.

hmmm? you mean to get married? traveling is not the issue.

[ummsayfullah]

Separate your marriage thoughts from your intention of making hijrah, you make hijrah feesabilillah not for a woman just fyi

stay away from matchmaking websites.

for example if you move to Philippines pick a Muslim neighborhood, go to the local masajid and speak to the imam and ask if he knows anyone he trusts who can find a sister that's looking for marriage.

Then travel...? You want to move anyway, right?

Theres no issue in marrying someone who also has the intention of making hijra

but yed hijra for the sake of Allah is different to hijra for the sake of marriagr

hmmm.. good answers thanks everyone jaazaa kallahu khayr, I have been flip flopping on the marriage thing to be honest,


it's just been very difficult I'm trying to stay strong, I dunno maybe I should just forget marriage all together... I keep trying to get my mind off women and those things but this sickening loneliness always comes back to me,


but Hijrah for Allah is more important anyway besides I always told myself if I didn't get married at 26 then forget it...


I'm not 24 turning 25 soon, my odds don't look good, sorry if I sound negative or offensive I'm in one those depressed moods again.. but alhamdullilah also I guess I should acknowledge the fact that marriage is not waajib,

so uhh yeah thanks for your replies and hearing me out! may Allah reward all of you with good husband's\wives and happy and healthy marriage's ameen

Aameen.

I don't think you should give up yet - just keep hopeful for the best possible outcome In Sha Allaah.

You could try to recite the following dua


رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنْـزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ


Musaa (peace be upon him) made this dua.

He was hired and got married.

try sunnahmatch.com they are based in UK but I'm sure you can make something work out!

Searching for a spouse was an absolute nightmare, the worst experience of my life. I will never forget it.

It was a relief when I found someone that agreed to marry me but all that wait, stress, pressure, anxiety, toxicity was not worth it. If there is 100% support from those around you, life is much easier.

i used matrimonial websites because we didn't have many helpful people around us

The mosque wanted money, so my dad paid their agencies to help me

Lol

Still no suitable match, I didn't like any of them but had to say yes and those that wanted to see me only did so because they wanted a maid for their families, they weren't seeking companionship which marriage is about.


one man working just at this agency could not help himself from making comments about me, later I found out they were showing photos of girls (including mine) without my permission to potential grooms

It's too late to take action now (also, I don't have solid evidence for it) i don think anyone understands how angry I feel


Bitter experience, did I learn anything? Yeh, it's a hard knock life

[Ya'sin]

Just keep searching

Be patient no matter how frustrating and make your intentions pure
