Should I complete my marriage to a young man who prays and does not shake hands with women, but sometimes lies and treats me like a stranger, while he does not do that with his female relatives?

Among Allah's blessings upon a woman is to be granted a righteous husband. The suitor's prayerfulness and avoidance of prohibitions indicate his righteousness, and his occasional commission of some sins is something from which no one is immune except the prophets. His treatment of his fiancée as a non-mahram woman is a sign of his religiosity, but his error lies in his treatment of his maternal uncle's daughters if they are non-mahram.

We advise the sister not to let these matters be obstacles to completing the marriage, as people are not free from faults. We also advise her to consult religious books to learn about the rights of spouses to preserve married life.
