The fundamental principle is that a Muslim's honor is inviolable, and it is forbidden to transgress against it through backbiting (), tale-bearing (), or slander (buhtan). A fiancée's discussion of her fiancé's flaws in this manner constitutes forbidden backbiting, unless there is an overriding benefit. If the mentioned traits are not present in him, then it is slander, which is even more sinful than backbiting, as it combines backbiting with calumny.
