The Internet has become a
convenient, common and acceptable new place to find matches
for smart, eligible people. As a result, many individuals
are looking for relationships online with people they
have not met and know little about. Since NikahSearch.com
has good experience in the Muslim matrimonial service,
NikahSearch.com make the experience enjoyable and safe,
it is still necessary for you to exercise some simple
precautions for your safety. The following guidelines
below have been put together to help you avoid uncomfortable
situations and other problems. Please read carefully and
refer to these often! |

| 01. |
Guard your anonymity
|
| |
TAKE YOUR TIME, and ask lots of questions. Don't give out any personal
information, including your email address. Use Mingle Mail first, which
allows you to send and receive mail without using your real address. Get
a good idea of what a person may be like before you give them your email
address. You can set up free email accounts through services such as Yahoo,
Juno, Hotmail, and others. Never give out your last name, home address,
phone number, work information, or any other identifying information in
your profile or initial emails. Stop communicating with anyone who pressures
you for personal information or attempts in any way to trick you into
revealing it. Simply ignore them. |

| 02. |
Use common sense and
be cautious. |
| |
Don't believe everything you read or are told, whether it is on a profile,
in a Mingle Mail, on the message boards, or in the chat room. Watch out
for a person who is simply too good to be true. Watch closely for odd
behavior, the person may not be what he or she says. Trust yourself and
your gut! You're responsible to take all the time you need to make sure
a person is honest and trustworthy. If your gut tells you that someone
is lying, they very likely are. Dont get hurt by becoming prematurely
intimate with someone. Don't be in a rush to fall in love, it will happen
when it happens. |

| 03. |
Ask for a photo |
| |
A photo will verify a person's profile information and give you a good
idea of appearance. If you keep getting excuses, it is probable that he
or she is trying to hide something. Our site will scan in a photo for
free, so there really aren't any good excuses for not doing it. A person
may also send you a photo of somebody else. Be cautious.

| 04. |
Communicate first through
Online |
| |
When you like someone, first start with communicating online like email
or online chat. Do not jump into telephonic conversations or personal
meetings prematurely. Take your time and give yourself a chance to know
more about the person. You can use Nikah.com’s personal messaging
system, which is completely anonymous. . In addition to it being important
for your safety, it’s simply practical! While searching online,
chances are you would be communicating with several potential partners
at the same time. In such a scenario, it would be extremely difficult
and expensive to keep in touch with them all, over the phone or in person. |

| 05. |
Use the telephone, a pay phone first |
| |
When you want to move to the next step, at the right time, a phone call
will tell you many things about a persons ability to communicate. Do not
give out your phone number to a stranger. Trust takes time to develop.
Keep your number anonymous if possible, and use the conversation to find
out more about the person to make sure you want to meet. Also call your
parents, wali, friend, or a family member. The more people you talk to,
the safer and more sure you will be. Only share your phone number when
you feel absolutely sure about trusting the person. If you are being pressured
to meet, ask to speak to the persons mother first. |

| 06. |
Meet only when you are ready |
| |
Many times our excitement about a person makes us impatient.........Be
Patient! One of the wonderful things about meeting somebody online is
that you can gain so much information about a person before you feel you
need to meet. You have NO obligation to meet anyone, ever. Stay away from
that people that make you uncomfortable.

Warning signs |
| |
Behavior such as anger, demeaning
or disrespectful comments, physically inappropriate
comments and behavior, intense frustration or attempts
at pressuring or controlling you are obvious warning
signs. Stay away from people like this, just ignore
them.
|
| |
Below are a few more things
to watch for: |
| |
 |
Information about age, interests, appearance,
marital status, profession, employment, and other information
is inconsistent. |
|
Will not speak to you on the phone after establishing
an ongoing relationship. |
|
Dodges and will not directly answer questions. |
|
Fails to provide direct answers to direct questions. |
|
In person is quite different from his or her
online profile. |
|
Will not introduce you to his/her family members. |
|
| |
Remember, that while some people do fake their profiles,
most others are simply genuine singles looking for a
good match - much like your self! |
| |
Also, if you do find out that a
person has embellished his/her profile do contact our
customer support service. We at Nikah.com have
strict rules and policies for misrepresentation on the
site. |

Meeting the first time, never go alone. |
| |
Take a friend, always! Choose the safest possible environment. Even if
you think you know every detail about a person and you trust them implicitly,
meet in public where many people are around. Also, tell someone where
you are going and when you will be back. Give your date's name and telephone
number or any other information to that person. Use your own transportation
to get to and from the date. Go somewhere very familiar to you. Be brief,
one or two hours is plenty. There is no need for a 5-10 hour date! You
will have plenty of time for that later. If your date disagrees with this
guideline or any of the guidelines listed here, you shouldn't meet that
person. |

| 09. |
Travelling far to meet
someone |
| |
Use your own transportation
always. Don't allow your date to make the arrangements.
If the location where you are meeting seems unsafe,
awkward, or inappropriate - go back to your hotel. And
of course, make sure a friend or family member knows
your plans and has your contact information. Take a
cell phone with you if you can. |

How to get out of a jam |
| |
Just leave. Its always better
to be safe than sorry. Your safety is obviously more
important than worrying about embarrassment, your behavior,
or what another person may think of you. Just leave.
We, at Nikah.com want to
ensure that you have a wonderful experience. If you
feel we have left something out of these guidelines,
please let us know!
