It is not permissible to force a woman to marry someone she dislikes, and wishing for death due to delayed marriage is not permissible in Islam. It is advisable to accept a suitor if he is religious and of good character, for religion and character are the fundamental criteria for choosing a husband. Delayed marriage is a matter of divine decree and destiny from Allah, and Allah knows best what is good for His servants.
