Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

May Allah reward for you for seeking a partner in a halal way. There are many ways to consider:

1. It is not necessary for you to look only in the city you are living. You can let your relatives and friends know wherever they are that you are looking for a wife.

2. In your place of work or study there are probably people you spend time with who can also help you. Let them know that you want to get married and to keep you in mind.

3. You can find Islamic magazines or newspapers that carry matrimonials and place an ad for yourself.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
