I am a 22 year old female that wants to get married but I hear so many things about guys that are in a relationship, drinks/smokes, doesn’t work, or not in the straight path. I want to know how can I get to know someone the Islamic way to make sure they are a person with deen and akhlaq. I have made a list of characteristics that I want in that person. I don’t know how am I supposed to meet someone or even talk to someone. I don’t want to do anything haram or go against Allah’s way in finding a spouse.
You don’t need to get into relationships with males to know whether they are good or not. Your family should ask and investigate about the man who wants to marry you, and ensure that he is good and trustworthy person.
