What are the methods of enticement and intimidation to persuade one's fiancée to wear the hijab and fear Allah?
It is permissible to marry a Muslim woman who does not wear the hijab, but the husband must oblige her to wear the legal (Shariah-compliant) hijab, as he is responsible for her before Allah. It is recommended to choose a religious wife. Scholars differed regarding covering the face with the hijab, and its obligation was favored, while covering the rest of the body is obligatory by consensus. The husband should invite his wife with wisdom and good admonition, and mention to her the evidence from the Quran and Sunnah which clarify that the hijab is a divine command and a sign of chastity and purity, and that displaying one's adornments (tabarruj) is a characteristic of the pre-Islamic era of ignorance (Jahiliyyah) and is legally forbidden (haram). It is also a characteristic of the people of Hellfire and is considered hypocrisy and a disgrace. The husband is responsible for her before Allah if he does not oblige her to wear the hijab.
