Is it possible for a girl to love her fiancé, who possesses good character and handsomeness, after marriage, despite her current discomfort with him and despite the problems that occurred between the two families and the marriage being delayed for eight years, knowing that she fears failure and is considering performing Istikhara and breaking off the engagement before the imminent marriage, for fear of regretting leaving someone with his qualities?

If a young man possesses good character and religious devotion, the Prophetic Sunnah encourages choosing him as a husband, as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If someone whose character and religious commitment you approve of comes to you [seeking marriage], then marry him." If, in addition to that, he is a relative and your mother wishes it, this would be more conducive to the continuity of companionship. After the marriage contract, there is no harm in the spouses communicating and expressing their feelings. Love is not the sole basis for a successful marriage; rather, respect, appreciation, and righteous offspring are important elements. A marriage based on love alone, without these pillars, may fail. We do not advise seeking a divorce; instead, we recommend that wise individuals intervene to expedite the consummation and completion of the marriage.
