Disability-inclusive matrimony
Mafimo is open to everyone aged 21 or over, including people with disabilities. You decide what to share about your health or physical status, you can filter matches by physical status, and your family can help with the search.
A search on equal terms
People with disabilities, often searched for as “physically challenged matrimony”, have long been pushed towards separate, smaller platforms with far fewer profiles. Many would rather search where everyone else does, on equal terms, and share information about a disability in their own way and at their own pace.
A good match looks at the whole person: values, interests, family and what two people can build together.
Deciding what to share
Health and disability information is sensitive, and on Mafimo it is optional. Some people prefer to mention a disability on their profile so that every conversation starts from understanding. Others prefer to share it once there is mutual interest. Both are valid.
- If you mention it, describe what it means for daily life in plain words, not only a medical term.
- Say what support, if any, you would like from a partner.
- Mention your independence, work and interests, which matter just as much.
Your rights
The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 guarantees people with disabilities equality and freedom from discrimination. Families who face pressure or discrimination can find information and support from the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities.
