Is it obligatory for the suitor to see the woman he proposes to, and is it permissible for her to uncover her head to him to show her beauty?

It is permissible for the suitor to see the face, hands, head, and feet of his fiancée. This is not obligatory, but it is recommended, as it is more conducive to harmony. This viewing should take place without privacy, in the presence of a (unmarriageable kin) of the fiancée.
