CWE-FSH-06 Compassion, Welfare & Environment Family & Social Harmony CORE Excellence v2.9.7

Marriage Partner Finding Service Available

Assesses if the organization provides a structured, ethical, and Shariah-compliant service for individuals seeking marriage partners, ensuring robust safeguarding, data privacy, and adherence to Islamic etiquette (adab) to facilitate lawful family formation. By facilitating zawaj (marriage), the institution actively supports Hifz al-Nasl (preservation of lineage), a fundamental goal of Maqasid al-Shariah (objectives of Islamic law). This approach fosters unions grounded in mawaddah (affection) and rahmah (mercy), strengthening community bonds through dignified, faith-centered matchmaking.

Assessment Questions
  1. Is there a comprehensive Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) covering the entire lifecycle from enquiry to file closure?
  2. Has a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) been completed, and are lawful bases for processing (Art 6/9) documented?
  3. Is there a specific 'Safe Introductions Protocol' that defines rules for meetings, online interaction, and chaperone requirements?
  4. Do facilitators receive competency-based training on safeguarding, GDPR, and Shariah etiquette, with records of annual refreshers?
  5. Is there a formal complaints and grievance mechanism accessible to all users?
  6. Does the organization track a balanced scorecard of metrics (safety, quality, process) rather than just 'successful matches'?
  7. Are there clear, published eligibility criteria and a fee policy to ensure transparency and fair access?

  • Approved Matchmaking SOP and Flowchart.
  • Completed DPIA and Privacy Notice.
  • Safeguarding Policy with specific 'Safe Introductions' addendum.
