Is the absence of suitors for a girl, despite her religious commitment, good character, beauty, a tribulation from Allah, or due to sins or envy, or is marriage a destiny unrelated to these matters?
Allah manages everything with wisdom, and He inscribed the destinies of creatures fifty thousand years before creating the heavens and the earth. To achieve marriage, a woman must be chaste, upright, and supplicate frequently. It is permissible for her to offer herself to a man of good character and religious commitment through one of her mahrams, or her father or brother, as 'Umar did with his daughter Hafsa. One must also employ the legitimate Shar’i means to treat magic and envy.
