Explain that you want to find a Muslim wife. “I’ve been thinking lately that I’m really ready to settle down. I want it to be with a Muslim woman, someone in our community.” “I want to get married to someone in the church, a Muslim woman. I really want to go the traditional route, you know?” Ask if they know anyone that they think would be a good choice. “I don’t think any women I know would be a good match, though. Do you know of any?” “Would you be able to set me up with anyone you know?” “The traditional way of doing this is to have other people play matchmaker, so I guess that’s what I’m asking of you! Do you know anyone you could introduce me to?” If they have someone in mind, ask what she’s like. “How well do you know her? Could you tell me more about her?” “Does she live around here? How do you know her?” See if they’ll put in a good word for you. “Would you mind poking around to see if she’s interested in anyone right now? And if she’s not, maybe mentioning me?” “Could you put in a good word for me and see if she’s interested?”
