BMC Bonds
BMC’s private, internal matchmaking service
BMC Bonds is our private, internal matchmaking service for eligible students and recent alumni. It offers a structured process for exploring marriage, supported by BMC staff.
Who can join?
For our learning community.
To join BMC Bonds, you must meet these requirements:
- You must be a current student or a recent alumnus who completed a 12-month BMC course within the last three years.
- Eligible on-campus students and online students of our sister organisation, British Muslim College, can apply.
- Current students must complete the first term of their one-year course before joining, with at least 60% attendance.
- Alumni must have achieved at least 60% attendance and demonstrated commitment to their learning.
- You must complete the online marriage course and achieve a pass mark of at least 70%.
How it works
A clear process.
Families involved.
Check your eligibility, complete the marriage course and achieve at least 70%, then contact the BMC Bonds team about the application process.
02
Staff review & matching
BMC reviews the application and considers potential matches using the criteria each applicant has provided.
03
View a potential match
Applicants are invited to view a digital profile and photographs at the centre, then have 24 hours to decide whether to proceed.
04
Mutual agreement
If both applicants wish to continue, BMC contacts their designated walis to arrange the next stage.
05
Families take it forward
Walis manage the meeting and future contact. BMC does not organise meetings between families or assess final suitability on their behalf.
06
A follow-up check
BMC contacts both applicants after four weeks to check the status of the match and update its records.
Please understand before joining
Clarity and realistic expectations.
Is a successful match guaranteed?
No. BMC facilitates introductions. Applicants and their families must make their own enquiries and decide whether a match is suitable.
Who sees my information?
Profile information and images are shared with potential matches as part of the service. Before submitting a profile, read the application privacy information and speak to the Bonds team about how your details will be used.
Can I join simply by enrolling on a course?
No. The first-term, attendance, marriage-course and eligibility requirements apply. Enrolment alone does not give immediate access.
What behaviour is expected?
Applicants should approach the service respectfully, accept that introductions may not progress and avoid making others uncomfortable. BMC reserves the right to remove applicants who misuse the service.
How do I access the course or application?
Complete the marriage preparation course first, then contact the BMC Bonds team for guidance on applying. This website does not collect your marriage profile or photographs.
