Should I accept a young man who previously proposed to me and whom I rejected due to his lack of religious commitment, noting that his behavior has changed for the better, while fearing that I might be making a mistake by accepting him?

There is no doubt that a girl's rejection of a young man who is not religiously committed is a sign of piety and sound judgment. If the young man repents and becomes religiously and morally upright, as attested by those who know him, then there is no justification for rejecting him; for sincere repentance erases what came before it. Perfection in religion and character is not a condition; rather, it is sufficient for him to become generally pleasing. However, if he remains generally displeasing in religion and character, then it is not advisable to accept him; for the consideration is his current state.
