The question

How do I choose my future wife between a girl I love, but whose family is characterized by bad traits, and a girl I don't feel inclined towards, but whose family is characterized by good morals and religious commitment, given that I wish to marry to complete half of my faith?

The answer

One should choose a wife who is religious and of good character, then one from a good lineage whose family is righteous, so that her child may be noble. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "So win the one who is religious, and you will prosper." It is also advisable to consult with wise individuals and perform Istikhara before proceeding with marriage.
