Astana:
A dating website -- based on Islamic Sharia law -- for Muslims in
Kazakhstan with "sincere intentions" to create a family has now
been launched in the country.
According to the Kazakh KTK TV channel, the main page of the
website -- http://nikah1.ru -- says that only visitors with
"sincere intentions to create a religious family" were allowed to
register on the site.
The profiles of those "seeking pleasure and with sinful desires"
will be blocked, the website's organisers said on the main page.
Kazakh religious authorities hailed the idea, saying Muslims
needed a website like this for a long time.
"A Muslim man can't just go up to a woman on the street and ask
her to be his friend because Sharia law forbids it. We think such
a website will help people meet and create a family," said
Nurmukhamed Iminov, deputy head of the central mosque in Almaty
city.
