As-Salaamu-Alaykum
I would like to know any success stories about any Muslims who have sought marriage partners over the internet and have married them. It seems that there are a lot of Islamic marriage services and I need to know are any of them reputable. I have a young daughter approaching the marriage age and I was interested in what other Muslims have to say and what they know about this.

Salam..
I have heard a FEW numbered success stories..
generally it is not a good way to find a husband.. as I have discovered myself..

And as a scholar and imam has answered me about this topic once.. he said it is not a good place to look for a marriage partner, as there is always a hidden agenda... and he was right..

if it is the ONLY way for you to find muslims, then i would proceed with a huge amount of caution, and i would beleive no one, and trust no one.. have them checked out properly .. and dont let the daughter correspond with them. only her wali. Once you investigate the person, and check references properly... then her wali ( a man) should meet him adn his family.. and see what he thinks of him.. and his faith and his manners... and if he is acting or not.... THEN.. you can see if the girl is even interested in him.
otherwise, Dont expose your daughter to the filth that is out there...

its probably a harsh opinion of the internet world.. but it comes from my own personal experience... as is the case with opinions...

salam
