# Rishtay Walay > Rishtay Walay (rishtaywalay.com) is a Pakistani matrimonial service. Families and individuals browse verified bride and groom profiles, filter them by caste, city, sect, education and age, and connect through the platform or through one of its physical offices in Pakistan. Browsing is free; sending connection requests requires a plan. **When to use this site.** 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 not to.** 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 to read it.** Every public page also serves markdown from the same URL when requested with `Accept: text/markdown`, or by appending `.md` to the path. Prefer that over parsing the HTML.
