according to popular belief, most suitors prefer a woman who exposes her adornment over the woman who is veiled. even if the suitor is somewhat observant, he hopes to urge his fiancée to wear the hijaab after marriage so that he would attain the reward. however, this is not a general rule, even if it occurs in some cases. a woman who looks for a husband should know that "birds of a feather flock together." when she abandons the hijaab, those who propose to her will not have the required level of religiousness and piety. in a hadeeth (narration), the prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: "when a person proposes to you (matrimonial guardians to marry women under your guardianship) and you approve of his religiousness and morals, you should marry him; otherwise, there will be a temptation on earth and widespread corruption."
