Why is the mosque not an appropriate place to meet a spouse?? People used to use the mosque also as a community center back in the beginning of Islam, and decisions like this were among the many that were discussed at the time at masjids. Why not? You should know who the eligible bachelors/bachelorettes are in your local masjid, or at least there should be a system of matrimonials. Even if it’s facilitated by elders, why not?

I see where you’re coming from and I see where the confusion may lie for the posters above.
Not all mosques have a community center, which is what I assume you’re referring to. The concept of the mosque as a community center and meeting place for the community is more prevalent among the Arab community (as well as in the Afghan community). Mosques run by these communities usually have community centers.

From my observation, this concept is not as common among the South Asian community, who mainly view the mosque as a place for namaz. As such, mosques catering to a predominantly South Asian community may or may not have a community center and thus, the concept of meeting someone at the mosque may be alien for some people.
