If the girl accepts the hijab, there is no objection to waiting to complete her studies before marriage, though it is preferable to hasten the marriage. If she does not agree to wear the hijab, then leave her and seek a religious woman, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Succeed with the religious woman, may your hands be dusted."
