Should a suitor insist on breaking off an engagement with a girl who studies in a mixed-gender institute, due to his fears of gender mixing and her speaking with young men, despite her religious commitment and her responsiveness to his advice, and the affirmation of his mother and friends regarding her good character?

The mixing of young men and women in studies is an objectionable act, and young men and women should avoid it. The questioner is not to be blamed for asking his fiancée to leave the mixed institute. Since the girl affirms her avoidance of forbidden mixing and shows responsiveness and commitment to the rulings of religion, along with her reported good character, these matters do not warrant breaking off the engagement, especially since this is his mother's opinion. It is advised to convey to her what clarifies the ruling on mixing, while also reminding him that the fiancée is a stranger to him until the marriage contract is concluded.
