There is no basis for this in the authentic Islamic sources. Therefore, you are best advised to pray to Allah to help you in your search for a lawful spouse.

Here is one du`aa’ you may use:

Rabbi hab lee min ladunka zawjan salihan (a righteous marriage partner (if you are a woman looking for a partner) or zawjatan salihatan (if you are a man).

Another important prescription from the Prophet (peace be upon him) is to seek the help of Allah through constancy in istighfar. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever clings to istighfar constantly, Allah will make a way of relief for him or her from all difficulties and provide for them in way they would never be able to foresee.”

We also read in the Qur’an: “Whoever is always mindful of Allah, Allah will bring ease for him or her.”

Therefore, I would urge you to read the following formula of istighfar

AstaghfiruAllaaha al-azheem min kullidhanbinwaatoobuilayhi

(I ask forgiveness of Allah for all of my sins and return to Him in sincere repentance).

So, make istighfar unceasingly and hope for the mercy of Allah.
