UNIQUE NET SERVICE TO PROMOTE MARRIAGE AND FAMILY LAUNCHED
Mabrook offers advice for successful marriages
DUBAI: A unique effort assisting Arabs worldwide to find
their ideal life-partner, besides fostering family values and
promoting the institution of marriage, was launched recently by
the Arab world’s leading online community, Maktoob.com.
Announcing this yesterday, a top Maktoob.com official said that
Mabrook is a friendly new service aimed at preparing young people
for the responsibilities of a married life and how to make their
marriage work. Reem Madanat, Content Manager of Maktoob.com, said
that the new service was designed to complement the traditional
methods of finding life-partners, a task usually managed by the
elders of the family.
“Mabrook further underlines Maktoob.com’s mission to play an
important role, both at home and in the community,” explained
Madanat. “Our latest service conforms to the conservative
attitudes and religious sentiments in the region and, in the
coming months, will prove to be an invaluable service to adult
Arab people desirous of getting married.”
Registration for the Mabrook is simple and easy to understand. For
a small fee, a Mabrook registrant can fill out a carefully
designed form with questions to accurately assess their own
personality and what they seek in a future husband / wife. Mabrook
then searches its database to match the registrant with someone
who has those specific requirements.
Madanat assured that Mabrook guarantees optimum security and that
a registrant’s personal information is not disclosed to a third
party. She also pointed out that the service was only for those
adults who were serious about getting married.
“Mabrook does not encourage and does not consent to users who
want to register for fun, casual relationships,” she added. “Besides,
registrants can email their details to prospective life-partners,
only after receiving permission from the other party. This way,
all members are assured of total privacy and peace of mind while
searching for their soulmates.”
To guarantee secure online transactions, registrants can only pay
for the Mabrook service in the form of cashU Cards, a safe online
payment method launched by Maktoob.com two months ago. Already
popular with Internet shoppers, the cashU Card system is a unique
payment method that allows safe and secure online transactions
without the risks associated with credit cards. The cards are
delivered to the purchaser’s doorstep within 48 hours of ordering
on the cashU Card website,
www.cashucard.com.
Madanat explained that the registration fee for Mabrook is 150
cashU’s (US$3), with the user able to purchase contacts
thereafter. To ensure that only serious inquiries are solicitied,
registrants have to pay 150 cashU’s for every five contacts.
However, Maktoob.com does not charge the registrant any fee if a
match is finalised into marriage. “We only want our members to
be as precise as possible about their details and what they seek,
if they wish to find the right soulmate,” she added.
Mabrook also helps registrants by offering useful advice on
marriages and making them understand the responsibilities involved
in married life. Besides, members are kept updated through a
weekly online newsletter, listing new registrants who match their
details.
Maktoob.com (www.maktoob.com) has become a landmark development
for the Arab world, emphasising the region’s growing importance as
a major international IT player. Since its launch four years ago,
Maktoob.com has played a crucial role in uniting Arabs worldwide

solutions provider and leading virtual community for Arabs around
the world. Launched in October 1998, Maktoob.com gained instant
