The answer

It is permissible to marry a chaste Muslim woman, even if she commits some sins. However, it is better to choose a religious woman, in accordance with the Prophet's (peace be upon him) advice: "Marry the religious woman, and may your hands be soiled with dust." Marrying an irreligious woman in the hope of her becoming righteous after marriage is an unsafe path with uncertain outcomes. As for the suitor seeing the fiancée with her brother without her guardian's knowledge, it is permissible if it does not involve any Sharia violation, as the majority of jurists permit the suitor to look at the fiancée without her permission or her guardian's permission.
