The answer

A girl's religiosity is known by asking about her and her family. If she is praised for goodness and righteousness, then she is suitable. An unveiled woman is not among those of desirable religiosity. A woman's work does not cause harm if it is permissible and free from unlawful mixing, with preference given to her decision to stay in her home. The most important thing is for the girl to be known for her religiosity, adherence to obligations, and avoidance of prohibitions. There is no harm in seeking a university graduate for social compatibility, but religiosity and uprightness are more important, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "So win the one who is religious, and you will prosper."
