    The wedding invite states that the wedding is on Sunday, August 22 at 6PM. The Nikkah is taking place at a fancy hotel in London, called The Lanesborough.

  • Math theory reveals the perfect age to marry

    Math theory reveals the perfect age to marry

    A new math theory has proposed that people should marry at the age of 26, as it is the best time for them to have a life partner.

     Tom Griffiths and Brian Christian wrote in their book, Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions, that the best age to find a life partner is 26.

    The rule dictates that once you are 37 per cent of the way through completing something within a set timeframe, then you have reached the perfect point at which to decide.

    If the average person is looking for their perfect match between the ages of 18-40, then 26 is the ideal age, because you are 37 per cent of the way through the 22 years.

    The theory states that if you are any younger or older than 26, you are going to debate and argue too much and it might not work out.

    However, University of Utah sociologist Nicholas H. Wolfinger did not agree with this theory as he found out in July 2015 that the best age to get married to avoid divorce was 28-32.

    According to a UK publication, the theory is not perfect because it does not really account for the fact that our tastes may change between the age of 18-40, and we may be looking for something different. 

  • Iran launches state-approved ‘halal’ dating app to encourage marriage

    Iran on Monday introduced a Muslim dating application to boost marriages in the country and help young people find a partner for themselves.

    As per details, the app, Hamdam which means  “companion” in the Persian language allows users to “search for and choose their spouse.”

    It is the only state-sanctioned platform of its kind in the Islamic republic, according to Iran’s cyberspace police chief, Colonel Ali Mohammad Rajabi.

    While dating apps are popular in Iran, Rajabi said that all other platforms except Hamdam are illegal.

    Developed by the government’s Tebyan Cultural Institute, Hamdam´s website claims it uses “artificial intelligence” to find matches “only for bachelors looking for permanent marriage and a single spouse.”

    Tebyan head, Komeil Khojasteh said family values were endangered by outside forces.

    “Family is the devil’s target, and (Iran’s enemies) seek to impose their own ideas” on it, he said, adding that the app helps create “healthy” families.

    According to Hamdam’s website, users have to verify their identity and go through a “psychology test” before browsing.

    When a match is found for the user, the app “introduces the families together with the presence of service consultants”, who will “accompany” the couple for four years after marriage. The registration is free for the users.

    Iran’s authorities, including the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have cautioned many times against the country’s rising rate of marriage and declining birth rates.

    In March, Iran’s conservative-dominated parliament passed a bill titled “population growth and supporting families.”

    It mandates the government to offer significant financial incentives for marriage and to encourage people to have more than two children while limiting access to abortion.

    The law awaits approval by the Guardian Council, which is tasked with checking that bills are in accordance with Islamic law and the constitution.
