Social phobia is a psychological disorder of varying severity, and what the suitor mentioned about the difficulty of him meeting with women is one of its symptoms.

This can be done by asking about him and verifying his medical condition and stages of treatment with the supervising doctor. It is important that his desire for marriage stems from his own conviction, not from the pressure of others.
