Registration is free, your profile is free, and browsing verified proposals is free. You only pay when you are ready to make contact.
Most rishta websites in Pakistan ask for payment before you can see anything worth seeing. Select Proposal works the other way around. You can register free, list your profile free, and browse hundreds of verified proposals free — filtered by city, education, profession, sect and family background — before you spend a rupee. Every profile is reviewed by hand before it appears, so what you are browsing is real. Paid plans exist for one purpose only: revealing contact details once you have found someone worth contacting.
People searching for a free rishta service are usually doing so after paying somewhere and getting very little back. On Select Proposal, registration is free, keeping a profile listed is free, and browsing verified proposals is free. There is no trial that quietly expires and no card taken at sign-up. What is paid is narrow and specific: viewing another family's contact details once you have decided a proposal is worth pursuing.
It is worth saying plainly what free does not mean. Free does not mean unfiltered. Every profile is read by a person before it appears, and roughly forty percent are rejected. Free also has one limit we would rather state than bury: the free plan is not offered to male profiles with a diploma or other education, or to men who are married, divorced or separated. Those profiles need a paid plan.
A free account gives you a complete listed profile, verified before it goes live, visible to the whole membership. You can browse proposals and filter by city, education, profession, age and sect. You can be contacted by members on a paid plan, and you get a limited number of contact views each day. Plenty of families never pay at all, because the other side pays and makes the first approach. Paying starts when you want to move first and see contact details in volume. That is the only thing a plan sells. There is no matchmaker commission and nothing owed on the marriage itself.
Free rishta groups on WhatsApp and Facebook look like the cheapest option, and in cash terms they are. The price is paid elsewhere. Nobody checks whether the man's degree exists or whether his marital status is as stated. Your daughter's photograph and your own mobile number are forwarded onward the moment you post them, into groups you will never see, and there is no one to complain to when they are misused. A proposal that arrives with no accountability behind it has to be verified from scratch anyway. Free browsing on a screened list costs you nothing and starts from a checked position.
Select Proposal is a screening layer, not a rishta bureau and not a matchmaker. We do not sit between two families negotiating, and we take nothing when a marriage happens. Because the service is screening, it only makes sense if you can see the pool before deciding whether it suits you. Charging at the door would mean asking families to pay on faith. Contact details are never shown publicly on any plan, free or paid, and are exchanged only when both sides have shown interest. Parents and guardians may create and manage a profile on behalf of a son or daughter.
If you want to test whether this is genuinely free, the fastest way is to look. Register, list the profile, and spend an evening reading proposals in your own city. You will know quickly whether the standard of screening is worth anything to you, and nothing will have been spent while you decided.
Registration, listing your profile and browsing proposals are all genuinely free, with no trial period and no card required. What is paid is contact details. When you find a proposal you want to pursue, a plan lets you reveal contact information. We keep browsing free deliberately, because families should be able to see whether the profiles suit them before paying anything.
You can create a complete profile, have it verified and listed, browse verified proposals with filters for city, education, profession, age and sect, and be contacted by members on a paid plan. Many families are matched this way without ever paying, because the paid member on the other side makes the first move.
No. Your profile is visible to the whole membership at no cost once verified. Paid members browsing the site can see your profile and reach out to you.
Every profile is reviewed manually before it goes live. We check identity and the education and profession details given, and we remove anything we cannot verify. Free registration lowers the cost of joining, not the standard for being listed.
