Should a young man continue his engagement to a girl who is quick to anger, makes many demands, and insists that he take out an interest-based loan to complete the marriage, despite his attempts to advise her? And is it permissible for him to be alone with her and kiss her under the pretext of avoiding falling into fornication?

The fiancée is a stranger to the suitor, so it is not permissible for him to touch her, or be alone with her, or engage in any other forbidden acts, because an engagement is merely a promise of marriage.

The prospective spouses must repent from impermissible meetings and private seclusions before the legitimate marriage contract. There is no harm in postponing the marriage to prepare for the wedding. It is preferable to conduct the legitimate marriage contract and postpone the wedding so that she becomes his wife, without consummating the marriage until the wedding is complete, in consideration of custom.

There is no harm in the father's approval without the daughter's, but it is preferable to convince her. If she refuses and breaks off the engagement, there are many others.

It is forbidden to borrow with usury for the sake of marriage.
