No but preference will be given to those registered candidates

How did the last rishtacorner™ go?
Our last event comprised of 30 candidates, a smaller format than we expect this event to be. It went surprisingly well, given it was our first event. Alhmadollah, there have been successful marriages since that event. It has taken us some time since then to plan this event as there were a lot of areas we needed to improve on.

We expect anything from 50 to 100 candidates to attend the event. We aim to maintain a 1:1 ratio of males to females

If I register, am I guaranteed a spot?
Registering for our event does not guarantee a spot. We aim to maintain a balanced ratio of males and females, as well as an appropriate distribution across age groups to facilitate meaningful interactions. If space is limited and some individuals are unable to attend, we prioritize their attendance at our next event, Insha'Allah.
