Matrimonial in Lakemba & Canterbury-Bankstown
Lakemba is the heart of Muslim Sydney, and Haldon Street hosts Australia’s biggest Ramadan event every year. For Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Indian Muslim families here, a rishta is still a family matter first. Khandaan is built the same way: families create the profile and introductions go from one household to another.

Profiles on Khandaan show the city only, never the suburb, so nobody’s address is ever shown.
A rishta, the family way
Families here usually want to know about a household before the couple meet: how observant they are, what they expect after the nikah, and where the couple will live. On Khandaan each family writes its own introduction, so those things can be said up front, and the first conversation is between families.
Photos stay private until both families agree to connect, which matters to many families who would rather a daughter’s picture never circulates. ID checks are optional, and profiles that pass carry a badge.
Using a rishta aunty
If your family would rather a matchmaker carry the first message, you can browse matchmakers who list on Khandaan for free. Some families use both: a matchmaker they know, and a profile that other families can find.

Can I find families from Lakemba & Canterbury-Bankstown on Khandaan?
Profiles show the city, never the suburb, so you will see families from across Sydney rather than Lakemba & Canterbury-Bankstown alone. That keeps every family’s address private. A family can mention where they are based in their own introduction if they choose, and once two families connect they can share as much as they like.

Creating and listing a profile is free, with no credit card. To send introductions you pay $79 once, GST included, by PayID, and that unlocks unlimited introductions. There is no subscription. Matchmakers list for free.
