The answer

There is no harm in marriage if both parties agree that the wife will leave her husband and they will meet during holidays. It is preferable for the wife to move to the husband's country of residence to complete her studies there.

Until the marriage can be facilitated, one must be patient, hold fast to Allah, strive to lower the gaze, stay away from places of temptation, associate with the righteous, and occupy one's time with beneficial deeds. It should be noted that a suitor is a stranger to his fiancée as long as the marriage contract has not been concluded.
