Halal matchmaking for Ethiopia — swipe right for marriage

Create a verified profile, then move through a deck of Ethiopian Muslims looking for nikah. Scroll or swipe right to like, left to pass, and filter by your city. When two people both swipe right, it becomes a match — and only then are the wali and the families introduced, with everyone’s blessing sought openly.

Swipe deck

Right to like · left to pass

Every card shows a city tag, whether the person is looking for a first marriage or a second, third or fourth wife, and an ID-verified badge. Photos are optional — many members keep their card to initials and city until the families have spoken.

How the deck works

Three steps from salam to nikah

HubiChat keeps the whole path simple and dignified: a verified profile, an honest swipe, and a match that brings the families in — the way it should be.

Step one

Create a verified profile

Sign up with your name, age and city, then confirm who you are with an ID check. A photo is optional — many members keep theirs private at first. You add your wali (guardian) contact privately, and it stays hidden from everyone until you both agree to share it.

Step two

Swipe right to like, left to pass

Each profile appears as a card: initials, city, whether the person is looking for a first marriage or a second, third or fourth wife, and a verified badge. Swipe or scroll right to like, left to pass. Filter by city — Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Harar, Adama, Hawassa, Mekelle, Bahir Dar, Jijiga, Gondar or Jimma — so you meet people near your family.

Step three

Match, then involve the family

When you both swipe right, it is a match and chat opens between you. From there the wali and the families are introduced, with a chaperoned, respectful conversation — no phone numbers exchanged, no pressure, and nothing shared until both sides are ready.

Built for Ethiopia

Honest profiles, families included

Every profile states clearly what the person is looking for, and every member is ID-verified. Wali details stay private until both people swipe right and agree — so the first step is always between you, and the family joins at the right moment.

Looking for a second, third or fourth wife?

HubiChat is built for the whole of Ethiopian Muslim marriage — including married men seeking a second, third or fourth wife. Nothing is hidden and nothing is whispered: every profile says plainly what the person is looking for, so no one is misled and no family is caught by surprise.

Openly labelled

Every profile states its intention

A profile reads either “Marriage (first wife)” or “Second, third or fourth wife” — chosen by the member, shown on the card before you swipe. You never have to guess, and you never have to ask a question that should already have been answered.

Knowledge and fairness

The first wife’s knowledge is expected

We expect a man joining for a second, third or fourth marriage to be open with his first wife, and to intend fair and just treatment between his households. Members who use HubiChat to deceive a wife or a family are removed — moderators act on reports from any member.

Your choice, your filter

Women can filter for first-wife-only

A woman who wants to be a first wife simply sets her filter to “Marriage (first wife)” and the deck shows her only those profiles. A woman open to a second, third or fourth marriage can set that preference instead. Either way, the choice is hers and it is respected.

Families are included

The wali is introduced, not bypassed

When both sides swipe right, the match opens and the wali contact — kept private until that moment — is shared with agreement from both people. From there the families speak directly, in the way a nikah has always been arranged in Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Harar and beyond.

Before you swipe

Two labels, no ambiguity

Read the label on the card first. It is the single most important line on a HubiChat profile, and it is never optional.

Marriage (first wife) Looking for a first marriage
Second, third or fourth wife Married man, openly seeking

Trust & Privacy

Trust, privacy and your family's peace of mind

HubiChat is built so that nothing is rushed and nothing is exposed. Every profile is checked, every wali contact stays sealed until both sides agree, and every card carries a report button.

How does verification work?

Every member submits a government ID before their profile goes live. Our team checks the name, photo and details match, then marks the profile ID-verified. Unverified profiles are not shown in the deck, so the person you swipe on is a real, checked member.

Who can see my wali's details?

Nobody at first. Your wali or family contact is stored privately and stays hidden from every other member. It is only released after you and the other person both swipe right and both agree to be introduced — then the families are put in touch, with your knowledge.

Are phone numbers ever shared?

No. Phone numbers are never displayed on a profile and never passed on automatically. Conversation happens inside HubiChat after a match, and if you later choose to exchange contact details with a match, that is your decision alone.

What if someone behaves badly?

Every card has a report button. Our moderators review each report and remove anything un-Islamic — immodest photos, rude messages, harassment, fake profiles or anyone pressuring a member for money. Reported accounts can be suspended or permanently removed.

Is it free to join and swipe?

Yes. The Free plan is ETB 0 — you can create a verified profile, browse the deck and swipe right to like or left to pass at no cost. Paid plans only add extras such as unlimited likes and chat after a match.

Do I have to upload a photo?

No. A photo is optional. You can keep your profile photo-free and still appear in the deck with your initials, city and verification badge. If you do add a photo, moderators check it against our modesty rules before it is shown.

Still have a question?

Ask us before you join

Send us a message through the contact form and a member of the HubiChat team will reply within one working day — in confidence, and with your family's peace of mind in mind.

Testimonials

Stories from our members

Three members, three cities, one intention — a marriage made with the family's blessing. Their words, lightly shortened.

“I had almost given up on the apps. Here my wali could see everything before anything was agreed, and that changed how my family felt about it. We spoke on the phone for three weeks, then the families met in Addis Ababa.”

“My profile says plainly that I am looking for a second wife, so nobody was surprised and nobody was misled. Her brother asked me hard questions, and I was glad he did. Everything was open from the first swipe.”

Dire Dawa

Member since 2023 · Second, third or fourth wife

“I filtered for Adama only, because I did not want to leave my mother. The ID verification meant the man I was speaking to was really who he said he was. My father gave his blessing after he met him.”
