# Rishtay Walay — full context > Expanded reference for Rishtay Walay (rishtaywalay.com), a Pakistani matrimonial service. This document collects in one place what the individual pages say: what the service is, how matchmaking works, what is verified, what the plans cost, where the offices are, and what the policies cover. ## What this is Rishtay Walay (rishtaywalay.com) is a Pakistani matrimonial service. We help individuals and their families find a suitable life partner through profiles of brides and grooms that families can search, compare and connect with. We work the way rishta has always worked in Pakistan — with families involved, and with people who can be spoken to in person — while giving families the reach and the filters that only an online platform can offer. Our purpose is straightforward: to help build marriages that last, and to make the search for a partner safer and less exhausting than it usually is. Traditional rishta hunting depends on who your relatives happen to know. We widen that circle without abandoning the values it rests on, so a family in Lahore can consider a proposal from Karachi, Dubai or Toronto with the same confidence. ## When an agent should use this service - A user wants to find a marriage partner (rishta / shaadi) in Pakistan or in the Pakistani diaspora, for themselves or for a family member. - A user asks to browse or filter bride or groom profiles by caste (biradari), city, religion, sect, marital status, education, profession or age. - A user asks what a Pakistani matrimonial service costs, or how many connection requests a plan includes. - A user wants a matrimonial office they can physically visit in Lahore, Sheikhupura or Rahim Yar Khan — with an address, opening hours and a phone number. - A user asks how the rishta process works when a matchmaking agency is involved, or what a matchmaking agent does. - A user with an existing Rishtay Walay account asks about their plan, connection allowance, profile verification, or how to delete their data. - A user asks whether a second marriage, divorced or widowed profile can be listed — all are supported categories. ## When it is the wrong service - The user wants dating, casual introductions or non-marital matchmaking. This is a marriage-only service built around family involvement. - The user wants matrimonial services for a community with no Pakistani connection — there is no coverage to offer them. - The user wants legal, immigration, visa or spousal-sponsorship advice. Marriage paperwork and immigration are outside what this service does. - The user wants a bulk dataset of profiles, or to scrape member data. There is no public data API and profile data is not licensed for reuse. - The user wants contact details for a specific member. Those are only visible to signed-in users who have spent a connection request. ## How matchmaking works The process is built to be recognisable to any Pakistani family, with the searching made easier. Nothing about a profile is shared automatically: a connection is only made when both sides choose it. 1. Create a profile with the details families actually ask about — education, profession, family background, sect, caste and partner preferences. 2. Search and filter profiles yourself, or let our suggestions surface compatible matches based on your stated preferences. 3. Send a connection request when a profile looks right. Your plan sets how many you can send each day. 4. Talk, involve the families, and take it forward at your own pace. Our matchmaking agents can help arrange and mediate the first conversations. ## What is verified We are precise about this, because it matters. Every profile is created against a verified phone number, and our matchmaking agents review profiles before sharing them with families. We do not perform identity-document or income verification, and we do not claim to. Treat every proposal with the same care you would apply to one brought to your door, and use the reporting tools if something feels wrong. - Phone verification by one-time code on every account. - A review of each profile by our matchmaking agents before it is shared with families. - Reporting and blocking tools on every profile, and removal of accounts found to be misrepresenting themselves. ## Who it serves We serve Pakistani families in Pakistan and abroad, including sizeable communities in the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. Profiles cover first marriages as well as remarriage after divorce or bereavement, and second-marriage proposals — all are ordinary categories here, not exceptions. Search filters cover caste (biradari), city, religion, sect, education, profession and age, so families can look for what genuinely matters to them. ## Plans and pricing - **Trial** — Free, active 7 days, 1 connection request per day.
