Actors Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar Khan have clarified that their platform, Marriage4Life, is designed for people seeking marriage and should not be viewed as a dating app.
In a video shared on Instagram, the couple thanked users for supporting the platform since its launch three months ago, revealing that it has attracted more than 20,000 members. They also said they are incorporating user feedback to improve the service.
Naimal said the response to the platform has been overwhelming, while Hamza stressed that Marriage4Life is intended for individuals who are genuinely looking for a life partner rather than casual conversations or social networking.
He added that ensuring the platform did not turn into a dating app had been one of Naimal’s main concerns from the beginning.
Abbasi continued, "When we created the platform, the number one thing my wife said was that she did not want it to become a dating app. It is for people who are serious — not for those who want to pass time, browse other people's profiles, or chat. No, absolutely not."
Addressing questions about the app's paid features, Abbasi explained that while some services are available free of charge, premium offerings help support a network of professionals who provide personalised matchmaking assistance. "Another important reason for the payment service is that it costs a lot of money. It is not just an app on algorithms, we have real experts and consultants. There is a real team of experts on the ground who are in offices," the actor said.
He added that the platform has offices in Oslo, Manchester, Copenhagen, and Lahore, with plans to expand further. "We have real offices with real experts who help at every stage. When you get matches, they can even introduce you to them. They're doing all that hard work for you. They are real people," he stated.
The couple concluded by saying users could expect more updates in the coming months, encouraging them to continue sharing feedback to make the platform more accessible to people around the world.
Abbasi and Naimal themselves tied the knot in 2019, welcoming their first child the following year.
