Boilerplate

Amanina is the matrimony app for people who marry with intention — faith honoured as they hold it, family welcomed at their pace. Arab, African and Central Asian families are all at home in it, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Druze and secular alike. Behind the scenes, introductions are prepared overnight and the reasoning behind each one is shown openly, so members wake to a few high-conviction matches, not a feed of strangers. Family features bring elders and the wali into the process, with consent. We verify that members are real people — no bots, no fabricated profiles — as a baseline, not a premium feature. You don't have to be Arab to join — the door is open to anyone who wants marriage this way, and where you come from never counts against you. Amanina is operated by Mama Hala Consulting Group, led by Mama Hala (a Family Consultant), and built by EiGENRA. Amanina launched in Canada in 2026.

How to refer to us

Five small things that save a correction later.

  • Amanina — one word, one capital. The wordmark is set in capitals; the name in prose is not.
  • Mama Hala's title is Family Consultant — please use it as written. In Canada “Dr.”, “licensed”, “clinical” and “therapist” are regulated titles belonging to a different profession, so any of them would misdescribe her work rather than do it justice.
  • Matrimony or matchmaking, not dating. Amanina makes introductions; it does not deal cards, and there is nothing to swipe.
  • We don't publish member counts, match counts or success rates today — the community is young, and a number would be read as a promise. If you need a figure, ask us rather than citing one from elsewhere: anything we haven't confirmed isn't ours.
  • Heritage is something a member states for themselves. It is never a filter, never a requirement, and it never lowers anyone's standing.

Founder

Mama Hala is a Family Consultant and the founder of Mama Hala Consulting Group. The Marriage Compass and the 30-Day Sprint — the reflection that turns matching on, and the month two people spend coming to know one another — are her questions, built on her family-counselling framework rather than a growth team's.

Behind the app

Amanina is built by EiGENRA, a small software studio, on the family-counselling framework Mama Hala authored.
