What your brother did by insulting and slandering his parents and by slandering your honor is not permissible. He should be advised, and his ill-treatment should not be reciprocated in kind.
There is no harm in a young woman speaking to a young man out of necessity related to marriage matters, provided that the accuracy of his statements is confirmed. However, a marriage contract cannot be concluded via the internet or phone; rather, it must be done through an authorization from the husband or the guardian.
