The answer

This worldly life is a provision, and the best provision in this worldly life is a righteous woman. Therefore, you should supplicate and strive diligently to find a righteous wife in your country of residence or your home country, seeking assistance from friends, relatives, and those in charge of Islamic centers. If you are able to marry a Muslim woman, then الحمد لله (praise be to Allah). If not, then marrying a chaste woman from the People of the Book is permissible when there is a need, and it is better than remaining without a wife, especially in a country where tribulations are abundant. Scholars and callers to Islam should guide women and guardians to facilitate marriage and promote chastity.
