"Men are prone to be affected by temptation by what he has seen, because the emotional reaction in man usually starts immediately after they view an image. And scientifically has been mentioned that man by nature is visual spatial. Meaning, that man's visual space is more active than that in women. that's why when a man goes to see a potential wife, he doesn't care what she do for a living, or how much money she has, these are just the sides. But the first thing he cares is the image. And if shes not nice, he wouldn't be asking of her anything else"
Pity to such men of those who had chose beauty over deen. Tell me about the state of their marriage. Tell me about the state of their condition. Tell me. How many marriages had stayed strong thus far? Tell me about all these. Tell me about the statistics of divorce. Tell me how are the spouses. Tell me about the ratio. Tell me about such marriages that are based upon just looks.
The Prophet (PBUH) said: "A woman may be married for four reasons: her wealth, her lineage (family status), her beauty or her religious commitment; Choose the one who is religious and you will prosper.” - (Sahih Bukhari)
Of all those mentioned, all are temporal except for one. If marriage is about completing half of the deen, wouldn't we want that half to be the best? We are not just living in this world and that's that. But the world is of ephemeral joy, and there's Hereafter which has yet to come and Paradise all are looking forward to. So, marry the one with deen, marry for the sake of Allah - put these two conditions as priorities before anything else. Afterall, beauty; subjective & superficial.
