How can a committed 31-year-old woman, who faces family pressure to be compared with girls who commit religiously forbidden acts for the purpose of marriage, deal with her mother's repeated hurtful remarks?

We advise you to be patient with any harm you may encounter, and to disregard what is said about a woman's beautifying herself to attract suitors. We advise you to supplicate frequently, seek much forgiveness, and seek help from female friends in finding a righteous husband. If a man of piety and good character proposes to you, hasten to accept him, even if there are social differences. We advise your mother and sister to fear Allah and not to command you to do anything that displeases Allah. We also remind you to be dutiful to your mother and to treat your sister kindly.
