    Dear Sister, Asalaamualaykum

    Congratulations on accepting Islam. I can understand that things must be difficult for you if you do not have a support network as a new comer to Islam. There are some oranisations like IERA that are trying to build networks for revert sisters like yourselves; however they are a new organisation in the UK, so I do not know if they are in India yet.

    To look for a spouse, you can join matrimonial websites and marriage bureaus at Masjids. But first you must approach a good Muslim network/Masjid near to you so you can make some good female friends. If you have a good Muslim friend, maybe her father could act as your Wali or perhaps your friends can help you find a qualified Imam. Having this strong network will give you personal protection and you will feel less vulnerable. They can accompany you to see potential spouses, research in to the background of the potentials and just generally look out for you.

    I appreciate it is not easy to look for a spouse alone, but build on your network and inshaAllah they will help you. Also be careful to ensure that you observe Islamic etiquettes when seeking out potentials.

    Keep making dua for Allah to make this task easy for you.

    Mariyam, As-salamu alaykum,

    I suggest contacting some Muslim convert organizations in India. They may be able to assist you. I don't have specific contact info for such organizations. There was a question asked about this some time ago:

    Muslim Convert Organizations in India?

    I just emailed bother Aaqib and asked him to add some info on that page.

    Assalam alaikum Mariyum,

    Congradulations on accepting Islam.

    I myself accepted Islam on 2010, If you are in bangalore then you can try organization called DIET, Its a dawah centre and there you will surely find reverts. They will help you out. If you want specific number then i can get the authorized persons no.

    I am 23 now and if u r willling to wait 2 year then i might be a candidate for you.

      Shamim,

      This is not a matrimonial website. You may spouse search by joining various matrimonial websites, such as Zawaj.com, PureMatrimony etc.

    Asalamu alaikum,

    first of all i thank allah swt for his great mercy on you that made u a muslim.. even i reverted to islam by 2011.. i hope you must have married by now. if not my suggestion is, find a born muslim to marry so that it would be more helpful to learn so many things.. but be very particular about their view on islam. so many born muslims are much much care less on deen. yes they love islam, they know the truth, but there are ppl who worship in darga, there are ppl called shia and etc.. we are very clear islam is truth, but there are so many confutions made inside islam by born muslims. so be very carefull with that and find a good scholor and follow him, if you can keep in touch with good organization.. and pray to allah swt for yourself, for me and for the entire ummah.. asalamu alaikum.
