The answer

The basic principle is the prohibition of looking at non-mahrams, except out of necessity or need, such as a suitor looking at his fiancée. The suitor should ensure the woman's suitability for him before seeing her, as his rejection might cause her psychological harm. If a man wishes to marry one of two women and only needs to decide which one he will marry, there is no objection to him looking at both of them in a permissible manner for the purpose of making a definitive decision regarding the proposal.
