The answer

The primary criterion for choosing a wife is religiosity. Therefore, the suitor's parents should not object to his marriage to someone whose religiosity and beauty he is pleased with, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Nothing like marriage is seen for two who love each other." Nevertheless, the mother's consent takes precedence over marrying this girl if she does not agree, and there are many other women.
