The answer

The criteria for choosing a woman for marriage are: for her wealth, for her lineage, for her beauty, and for her religiosity. The criterion of religiosity takes precedence over all other criteria. So, if one of the two girls is religious and the other is less so, the former is preferred. If they are equal in religiosity, the more beautiful one is preferred, as beauty is one of the criteria considered religiously, rationally, and intuitively in choosing a life partner. If they are equal in beauty, then the rest of the qualities mentioned in the are considered. It is recommended to perform Istikhara (prayer for guidance) and consult people of knowledge.
