Moroccan fkih revolutionizes love: marriage transfer on Tiktok!

Celle, Deutschland - A new trend captures social media and shows how profound the ideas of partnership change in today's world. A Moroccan "Fkih" connects men and women in live streams to support them in the search for a potential partner. According to Africa Live , not only value is placed on mutual interest, but also on respectful communication that attracts thousands of viewers in this form. The livestreams, which occasionally end with a religious prayer, bring a mixture of traditional sense of tradition and a modern spectacle to the marriage brokerage.

The contemporary role of the FKIH, which traditionally is considered a religious authority, is changing to the social marriage mediation. In a country in which society becomes increasingly individualistic and young people are often without family support in finding a partner, this concept is extremely popular. The sociologist Chakib Guessous describes this development as a direct reaction to the dwindling influence of traditional marriage models and the need for many, religiously legitimate paths that help them shape their partnership and sexuality.

social changes and new models

according to taz.de looking for many young adults-especially from the generation Z-for alternative life models. The "swipen" in dating apps is often perceived as frustrating, and romantic ideal back in the background. Instead, they rely on partnership agreements that reduce both economic and emotional pressure. Concepts such as the "Lavender Marriage" become more important here, which originally arose in the queer community of the 1920s and offered protection against social ostracism. Today we experience a return to such pragmatic forms of relationship that promise financial and emotional security the most.

Young people from 20 to 30 years of age often even go into platonic marriages to help the living costs together. This form of partnership also gives you the freedom to live out your romantic and sexual orientations outside of marriage. In a time increasing living expenses and uncertain future prospects, it shows that Generation Z, which has often been isolated and studied without social contacts during corona apandemia, wants to find their own way in the relationship question.

The challenge of digital love

The importance of digital media for love life should not be underestimated. As loyaletest.net , authenticity and communication are central issues for the use of social media, but also sees the opportunity to question relationship concepts and also to break new ground. Whether polyamory or open relationships-the openness to non-traditional models is noticeable.

In the middle of these developments, the question arises: What will the role of digital platforms, be it in Morocco or elsewhere, look in the future? Do you keep your function as a marriage broker, or will the search for the ideal partnership continue to be accompanied by challenges? What is certain is that a pinch of humor and pragmatism are essential to meet the challenges of modern love life.
