Discreet, anonymous and private

Polygamous marriage, approached with clarity and care.

For people specifically seeking or open to a polygamous marriage, Linking Hearts offers specialised questions, careful private review and human-guided matching that respects each person’s circumstances and consent. Discretion is built into every stage.

Completely private by design.No browsing, no swiping, no public profiles and no profiles broadcast. Your identity and contact details are never disclosed without clear permission.

Anonymous at the matching stageYour name and contact details are protected; you are represented by an anonymous LH reference.
Nothing shared without permissionIdentity and contact details move forward only at the authorised stage and with clear permission.
Confidential human handlingSensitive answers and family circumstances are reviewed privately, with dignity and discretion.

Privacy at every stage

Your identity and circumstances stay protected.

We understand that people exploring a polygamous marriage may be especially concerned about being recognised, exposed or discussed. Linking Hearts is designed to protect your dignity from the first confidential question to any eventual contact exchange.

Anonymous LH reference

During matching, you are represented by your private LH reference—not your name or contact details.

No browsing or swiping

There is no public member directory. Your profile cannot be searched, browsed or swiped through by members or the public.

Profiles are never broadcast

Your profile is not circulated. Only a privately selected, compatible possibility moves forward through the guided process.

Permission before disclosure

Identity and contact details are released only at the authorised stage, after both people have agreed.

Designed for clarity

A thoughtful pathway for different circumstances.

Polygamous marriages do not all follow the same practical arrangement. Our separate, confidential application asks about current-wife awareness, existing wives, living arrangements, financial expectations, time, responsibilities and the type of marriage arrangement each person would genuinely consider.

01

Clear intentions

We understand what each person is seeking before presenting a possible match.

02

Compatible arrangements

Living and financial expectations are compared carefully, rather than assumed.

03

Private decisions

Both people remain free to accept, decline or request guidance at every stage.

Standard and Misyaar arrangements

Your circumstances should be understood—not presumed.

Each person answers the arrangement questions independently. Choosing one arrangement never assumes that another person has agreed to it.

Agreed accommodation and financial responsibility

A polygamous marriage in which the husband takes the agreed accommodation and financial responsibilities, with the practical details discussed privately and mutually agreed.

Misyaar arrangement

An arrangement in which the wife remains in her established home and freely agrees to limited or no regular financial contribution from her husband. Both people must select compatible answers before a match may proceed.

Important: A woman owning or remaining in her own home does not automatically mean that she accepts limited financial responsibility. The living and financial questions are kept separate.

Clear membership

Free to begin. Clear when you continue.

Registration, onboarding and system matching are free. Membership applies when the journey is ready to continue, with different arrangements for gentlemen and ladies.

Ladies

R100 monthly

Ladies follow the same monthly membership arrangement as the normal Linking Hearts pathway.

  • A private arrangement is available if genuinely unable to afford the fee
  • Month-to-month membership
  • Private guidance throughout the journey

Marriage testimonial

Assalamu alaikum 🌸

I just wanted to share the happy news, Alhamdulillah, through Linking Hearts, I found my husband and married as a second wife. 🤍

I’m so grateful to the Linking Hearts team for helping bring us together and for creating a private space for Muslims seeking marriage, including those considering polygamy.

Jazakallahu khairan for the care and effort you put into this work. May Allah reward you abundantly and place barakah in the marriages and families that come through Linking Hearts. Ameen. 🌷

Questions, answered

Before you begin.

Who is the Polygamy service for?

This separate Linking Hearts service is for Muslims in South Africa who are specifically seeking or open to a polygamous marriage. Introductions are handled privately, with attention to both people’s preferences and circumstances.

Will my profile be visible to other people?

There are no public profiles, photographs, browsing or profile broadcasts. During matching, you are represented by an anonymous LH reference. Selected profile details are shared privately with a potential match. Contact details are exchanged only after mutual agreement and the required checks.

What does Polygamy membership cost?

Registration, onboarding and system matching are free. Ongoing membership is R350 per month for gentlemen and R100 per month for ladies. A private arrangement is available for ladies who cannot afford the fee.

Two prepaid Polygamy search tokens cost R100, separately from monthly membership. Membership is month-to-month.

When do I need to verify my identity?

Verification is completed once, when both people wish to proceed and before contact details are exchanged. Masked ID upload is the only verification option. Upload a masked ID or driver’s licence through the App. Keep only your photograph, full name and date of birth visible; cover your ID or licence number, address, signature, barcode, QR code and every other detail before uploading. The App does not mask the document for you. Members who are already verified do not need to repeat verification.

When you are ready

Begin with honesty, dignity and clear expectations.

Your application remains confidential and never creates a publicly browsable profile. Complete the separate private application and let Linking Hearts guide the journey from there.
