The answer

If the girl's family knows the man to be religious and trustworthy, and they choose him as a husband for her, then she should accept. She should not forgo marriage to a suitable and righteous man because of his family's backbiting and gossip. Rather, she can remedy this by advising them or by avoiding their gatherings, and she should take advantage of the opportunity to marry a righteous man.
