The question

What is the ruling on a woman wearing high heels? And is wearing them—especially for short women—considered a deficiency in religious commitment that would warrant reconsidering her proposal? And to what extent does a girl's short stature affect the decision to marry her?

The answer

There is no blame on a woman for wearing high heels as long as there is no Shar'i (Islamic legal) impediment, and it is not considered a flaw in her religiosity unless she insists on wearing them. There is no blame in marrying a girl who wears high heels, especially if she is of good character and religious, rather one should be keen on her after seeking guidance from Allah the Almighty, because her religiosity and character complete what is lacking in her height.
