UK-Based Muslim Matchmaking Site Under Fire for Promoting Virgin Brides and Polygamy

 

A UK-registered matchmaking platform has come under scrutiny for promoting virgin brides, polygamous unions, and content that critics say is deeply misogynistic and potentially harmful. Known as NikkahGram, the site markets itself as an Islamic solution for men seeking “a shy, untouched spouse” or looking to marry up to four wives, in accordance with interpretations of Sharia law.

 

 

Founded in 2022, the platform has stirred outrage with its approach to female users. Virgin women under 35 are given free access and are positioned as ideal first wives. In stark contrast, women over that age or those with previous sexual experiences are likened to “low quality products,” whose only viable option is sharing a husband in a polygamous marriage. Women must disclose their virginity status—defined by the platform as having had no “previous relationship, haram physical touches or any type of intercourse”—as well as whether they would accept a non-monogamous union.

 

 

The company’s messaging and practices have been condemned by politicians and women’s rights advocates. Naz Shah, former shadow minister for women and equalities, called the platform’s content “frankly vile and deeply disturbing.” She said, “The categorisation of women into so-called ‘virgins’ and ‘non-virgins’, along with different membership ‘tiers’ based on such degrading labels, is nothing short of dehumanising. This kind of rhetoric has no foundation in Islam, nor in any ethical framework rooted in dignity or respect.”

 

 

Among the figures associated with NikkahGram is Asif Munaf, a former NHS doctor suspended from the medical register after an investigation into anti-Semitic social media activity, including Holocaust denial and 9/11 conspiracy theories. Originally listed as NikkahGram’s “associate qualified doctor,” Munaf was later rebranded as an “associate coach.” A £99 “mental wealth coaching call” offering his “medical expertise” has since been removed. Nonetheless, Munaf continues to post pseudoscientific claims and misogynistic views through the platform’s social media accounts.

 

 

In one video, Munaf falsely claimed that contraceptive pills could make women “kind of bisexual” by disrupting hormones. In another, he argued that women “have defects in their intellect” and cannot be leaders, stating, “Women do need to be treated with a bit more support and advice. Because they don’t have the ability to make decisions for themselves… How many prophets were women? Zero.” He justified this by citing Islamic scholarship.

 

Other posts and videos linked to NikkahGram promote wife-beating as “symbolic,” endorse the wearing of the niqab, and encourage divorcing “feminist” wives who fail to meet domestic expectations. Sheikh Assim Al Hakeem appears in one clip explaining that a husband displeased with his wife should first advise her, then withhold sex, and only as a last resort strike her “lightly.” He added, “Not with a baseball bat… but gradual. And this is for the goodness of the marriage.”

 

Critics say NikkahGram’s brand of religious conservatism masks a more dangerous ideology. Baroness Shaista Gohir, chief executive of the Muslim Women’s Network UK, said, “What they present as ‘family values’ is thinly veiled misogyny, targeting vulnerable women – especially new converts, those with limited religious knowledge, and insecure young Muslim men struggling with identity.” She warned that the site reflects “fringe voices” inspired by Western misogynists like Andrew Tate, dressed in the language of piety and Islamic tradition.

 

The website also encourages men to seek wives abroad, particularly for second marriages, suggesting women overseas are “less prone to feminism” and “more traditional.” One promotional video states: “If you’re tired of Western sisters and want a wife… who respects your role as a man and provider, and hers as a homemaker, you should consider this.”

 

In response to inquiries, NikkahGram claimed it operates “strictly within UK law and Islamic principles” and denied any promotion of abuse or illegality. A spokesperson said, “We provide a religious matrimonial service that reflects the values and preferences of many practicing Muslims. All participation is voluntary.”

 

Yet the platform’s portrayal of women, particularly its emphasis on virginity and domestic submission, has sparked broader concerns about integration and women’s rights in Britain. Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary, said: “This vile site promotes domestic abuse. It shouldn’t exist. The fact it does shows yet again how our immigration and integration policies have failed.”

 

The Home Office has been contacted for comment.

What's the problem?

 

They wanted diversity, and now they have it. 

 

These diverse attitudes towards women, virginity, homosexuality and polygamy must surely be celebrated. After all, diversity is our greatest strength.

Is it illegal?  If not, learn to respect others. Incidentally how can they prove they’re virgins? I guess if one can manipulate photos, provide false age etc on online dating sites they can fake virginity? Oh what is this? Penis? I never see before. Oh look it’s getting bigger. Wow. May work, ha?

If they are 9 they are usually virgins, that is the age Muhammad raped his 'wife' Aisha when he had at least 10 others. This is the paragon of virtue they follow who promoted wife beating, polygamy and marriage to very young girls, all backed up by his laughable revelations from the fairy in the sky.

Why has there been no arrests in relation to this?  The offence committed is called incitement.  For example, polygamy/bigamy is illegal.  Whether or not anyone commits bigamy, inciting it is illegal.

 

The penalty for inciting the commission of an offence that is not in fact committed is 10 years imprisonment if the maximum penalty for the offence is imprisonment for life and in other cases up to half the maximum penalty of the primary offence.

The UK needs to stop digging and put the spade down as the hole is getting too big to climb out of. You want diversity, well, good luck with all the intolerance and lack of intergration that brings... you reap what you sow and the UK is becoming a disfunctional benefits system country with a weak economy, that rewards uselessness and work-shy people at the expence of people who graft and save. That is a dangerous situation to be in, as the pushback will eventually be strong... or everyone useful will just flee/riot.

The far-left in Europe will facilitate the rise of their opposite as the rot will continue to go so far due to the liberal elite's failure to address problems people really care about, that a new generation plus the disillusioned will opt for the opposite instead, always like this... which is why the answers are to be found in the middle, not too hot and not too cold as the extrtemes on both sides only offer failure. You would have thought politicians and the public would have worked this out by now, instead of this mindset that everyone who came before them were stupid and we can get it right this time by doing the same thing... reminds me of Einstein's definition of Insanity.

It has nothing to do with normal behaviour or thinking of a typical British man who grows up with Western values.

Do you have no concern for the growth of Islamism in the UK ?

I’m deeply concerned about the growing influence of political Islam in the UK and the consequences it’s having on our national identity.

 

Like many others, I feel let down by successive governments and the left-wing establishment, who seem more interested in appeasement and ideology than in protecting the fabric of British society.

 

While I don’t see Reform UK as a perfect solution, it still offers more backbone than the mainstream parties.

 

We need to be honest: there are real problems tied to failed integration policies and parallel communities forming within our towns and cities..

 

We have Issues like grooming gangs, drug networks, and the emergence of Sharia-style courts that must be confronted openly and without fear of being smeared as bigots for simply demanding accountability and the rule of British law.

 

This isn’t about race or religion—it’s about values, loyalty, and whether those who come to live in the UK respect our way of life, our laws, and our freedoms. We are a tolerant nation, but tolerance must not be exploited as weakness.

 

We must defend our culture and identity with pride, not shame.

 

And above all, we must stand up for the future of Britain—before it’s reshaped beyond recognition by those who reject the very foundations that made it great.

 

I could delve into it further, but once I start discussing this subject, which I have researched extensively, I become frustrated about why I can see it, and so many others can't, or won't.

For those Brits complaining about Russians avoiding conflict by being in Thailand, a fair question to ask is: why aren't they back home fighting Islam?

Funny how people only care about “fighting Islam” when it’s convenient to throw it at Brits.

 

The reality is, we did fight – and many still do, whether in uniform, as I did, through community work, or simply by standing up for British values at home while being vilified for it.

 

We’ve spent decades dealing with the fallout of poor immigration policies, weak leadership, and cultural appeasement pushed by out-of-touch elites.

 

Meanwhile, we’re told to stay quiet or risk being called names.

 

So if I’m “not back home fighting,” it’s because I already fought— very vocally—while others were still pretending nothing was wrong.

 

We then get branded Tommy Robinson lovers or bigots. The Bigots, in my view, are on the other side supporting this vile invasion by a culture that hates us and what we stand for.

 

Ask yourself this: Are you criticising because you care about Britain, or just looking to score points?

However, I am in Britain, as I commute between the two, as I have stated multiple times on here. I am still involved in the UK construction industry, although it has slowed down at the moment.

 

Furthermore, I was answering questions asked of me about the UK and Islam; I did not comment whatsoever, nor did I give any opinion on Russians or Ukrainians.

 

These are two different issues: one is an Armed conflict, and the other is an attempt by a very vocal minority with an outdated ideology to change the UK, its laws, and culture.

Ah, yes, the modern wisdom: everyone’s allowed to be proud of their culture—except the British. Defend your values? White supremacy. Abandon them completely? Congratulations, you’re “progressive.”

 

I’m not out here trying to colonise anyone with Yorkshire pudding and common sense. I’m just saying if you choose to live in Britain, maybe—maybe—don’t treat the place like a blank canvas for whatever ideology you brought with you in your carry-on.

 

Respecting our heritage isn’t supremacist. It’s called not being a doormat.

 

But sure, keep telling yourself we’re the problem while bending over backwards for every other worldview except your own. That always ends well.
