The Prophet (saw) said: �A man is on the deen of his friend, watch out who your friends are.� Tirmidhi 2378, Abu Dawood 4833
Examine her family and friends, as this may give a good indication of values and belief. Keeping in mind that most men desire an attractive wife, emphasis should be placed on her religious practice and not only family status, beauty and wealth. You will never like everything about your wife, but look to the good aspects in her and overlook those faults which you dislike. Generally people lie for fear of reprisal, so be kind and gentle; hopefully she then will not have to worry about her being deceitful. I do not necessary see aggressiveness as a poor quality as long as harshness does not accompany this attribute.
Like Pati mentioned indeed the opposite can be said of men, and frankly I'm surprise to hear of these complaints coming from a man about women. It is most often, sadly, the reverse.

As Salamu Alaikum,Ali.
I have to agree with the majority of advice you are getting from the brothers. I would like to add that I have married in the past for beauty. This was before I came to Islam. None of these marriages worked out. Beauty is a transient thing and is one of the ways we are misguided in this world. Duane |

I think even Niqabi sisters can remove the face veil - so that both prospective partners can look at each other. Both have a right to know what the other looks like. Unless it is a very pious brother who does not mind. Which I believe are 1% of today's muslim ummah. . . Looking at our spouse before marriage is sunnah - sunnah is an 'encouraged act', following sunnah is sawab. One should not try to exceed beyond sunnah in thier actions (Bukhari hadith narrated by Aisha (r.a) about the 3 men who went beyond sunnah)

Aha nice conversation going on here... I think the most admirable woman would be the muslimah wearing niqab. To marry such would be an honor. Allah knows best....
I think it symbolizes her personality as religious and modest. To me, this is more important than looks of her face.

Or could simply be form over substance. Look closer at actions to make a more accurate determination.
