and girls are at the peak of their beauty and they get the best proposals. Parents must accept the first good proposal from a guy with whose religion and character they are pleased with. According to the command of the Prophet, peace be upon him because the quality and frequency of proposals quickly dwindles with time.

Many parents do not marry their daughters because of the fear of becoming lonely. This is being unfair to the daughters. Sometimes a relative or an uncle or an aunt who has a daughter of the same age see negative things about the guy proposing to the girl. Because these people will feel a loss in status when this girl gets married.

This is one of the occasions where the parents must take a stand for their daughter and do the right thing. See the proposal for its merits, not for their desires of those who stand to gain nothing from this marriage.
