We are interested only in shia individual who are serious about marraige.

My sister was born and raised in the US is well-versed in both eastern and western culture, as well as in Islam. She observes hijab proudly and tries to incorporate Islam in all aspects of life, and would expect something similar. In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with family and friends, staying afloat on current affairs, volunteering, traveling, reading, and at times, being a couch potato (especially when it comes to watching The Office or Grey's Anatomy). Some of her greatest qualities are: she is compassionate, rational, genuine and loyal.

In a partner, the primary "criteria" we are looking for is someone who is educated, religious, and has experienced life in the 'west' for an extended period of time. My sister wants an intellectual, confident, driven person who strongly values trust and respect in a relationship. Compatibility is also very important, so although the list of qualities can go on, it comes down to being the right match and working together to develop it.

Our family is originally from India, but my sister is second generation. Our nuclear and extended family is very close knit and actively involved in the Shia Muslim community.
