How is it permissible to get acquainted online with the intention of marriage, especially since some religious websites offer this service, and what should young people do who desire marriage but cannot find legitimate ways to get to know a righteous wife due to a lack of family interest or limited social connections?

One of the principles of religion is sadd al-dhara'i' (blocking the means), meaning that if a permissible act leads to something forbidden, then it becomes forbidden. Communication and getting to know each other between young men and women over the internet is prohibited due to the temptations and corruptions it entails, which lead to falling into haram (forbidden acts). The Shar'i (Islamic legal) path to marriage suffices for this, and it is advised to seek a righteous wife through people of righteousness and goodness, as communication over the internet is not free from lies and deception, and it contains many corruptions.
