Billboards seeking love match for Muslim bachelor, 29, that were plastered across Birmingham are revealed as a publicity stunt for dating app

After more than 5,000 people contacted a lonely bachelor who advertised himself on billboards across Birmingham in the hope of finding a wife, many have been left disappointed after it was revealed it was all a publicity stunt by a Muslim dating app.

Mohammad Malik, 29, took the bold step of picturing himself lying down on huge hoardings across the city with the words, ‘Save me from an arranged marriage’.

He also set up a website ‘Findmailkawife.com’ in order to catch the eye of a potential partner.

But last week the Muslim dating app Muzmatch revealed it was behind the publicity stunt.

Now, when users try to reach Mohammad’s website, it has been rebranded to ‘Find Malik a wife on MuzMatch’, with hopeful suitors being directed to the dating app.
