What is the ruling on marrying a man who is excessively boastful?
It is commendable to marry someone of good religious commitment and character. Arrogance and self-admiration are major sins that can negatively impact marital life, for the arrogant person is hard-hearted. The majority of scholars hold that it is permissible to accept a wicked person as a spouse, for religious commitment, in their view, is a condition for the completeness of the marriage, not for its validity. It is a right of the woman and the guardian that can be waived. In contrast, some scholars believe it is not permissible to marry off to a wicked person, and they lean towards the view that associating with a wicked person is forbidden and boycotting them is obligatory, so how much more so in the intimacy of marriage.
