WEDDME RESEARCH MEDIA SUMMARY Pakistan Matrimonial Trends Report 2026 Published: 8 August 2026 Full report: https://weddme.pk/research/pakistan-matrimonial-trends-2026 ABOUT THE REPORT The report analyzes 5,427 active, valid and quality-screened profiles represented on Weddme at a synchronized production-data snapshot on 8 August 2026. It examines family participation in profile management, saved partner-age preferences, education composition and saved education preferences, and the association between profile completion or verification and sustained authenticated activity. The findings describe Weddme's platform population. They are not nationally representative and should not be generalized to all Pakistanis. FOUR HEADLINE FINDINGS 1. FAMILY PARTICIPATION Someone other than the person represented managed 419 of 810 women's profiles, or 51.7%. The equivalent figure for men's profiles was 525 of 4,617, or 11.4%. 2. AGE PREFERENCES AMONG MEMBERS AGED 26 TO 30 Among women aged 26 to 30 who saved age preferences, 141 of n=199 selected at least one wholly older age band, or 70.9%. Among men of the same age who saved preferences, 783 of n=1,045 selected at least one wholly younger band, or 74.9%. Age preferences were multi-select. A member could select older, same-age and younger bands, so percentages can total more than 100%. 3. EDUCATION Higher education, defined as a bachelor's, master's, professional or doctoral qualification, appeared on 3,758 of 5,427 analyzed profiles, or 69.2%. The share was 721 of 810 among women's profiles, or 89.0%, and 3,037 of 4,617 among men's profiles, or 65.8%. 4. PROFILE READINESS AND ACTIVITY Within a separate 4,509-profile cohort with a complete 30-day observation window, 715 of n=2,395 verified profiles reached at least three post-signup activity days, or 29.9%. The equivalent figure was 201 of n=2,114 profiles without recorded verification, or 9.5%. This is an association and does not establish that verification caused continued activity. METHODOLOGY AT A GLANCE - Main cohort: 5,427 eligible Weddme profiles. - Snapshot date: 8 August 2026. - Profile creation period represented: 12 March to 8 August 2026. - Included profiles had active, valid client accounts, no deletion or platform flag, and a clean platform risk state. - Preference denominators include only members who saved at least one option in the named category. - Preference fields were multi-select, so totals can exceed 100%. - Activity analysis used 4,509 profiles with a complete 30-day follow-up window and excluded the creation day. - Publication uses aggregate counts only. No names, contact information, biographies, messages or identifiers are included. - The cohort is geographically concentrated and contains substantially more men's than women's profiles. It is not nationally representative. LANGUAGE FOR COVERAGE Use: "Weddme members," "profiles represented on Weddme," "members who saved preferences," or "within the analyzed Weddme cohort." Avoid: "Pakistanis prefer," "Pakistani women want," "Pakistani men want," or descriptions of the report as a national survey. SUGGESTED CITATION Weddme Research Team. (2026).
