From the Book : "Youth and Spouse Selection" by : "Ali Akbar Mazaheri"
The Prophet (a.s) said about the virtues and qualities of a suitable and decent spouse:
إذا جاءكم من ترضون خلقه و دينه فزوجوه و إن لاتفعلوا تكن فتنة في الإرض و فساد كبير.
"When someone with whose morality and religion you are pleased comes to you (for marriage),
conclude the marriage. If you do not do it, then a great commotion and disturbance
and corruption would take place on earth."
Please observe that the prophet of Islam (a.s) described 'morality' and 'religion' as two real standards and criteria of marriage and spouse selection. These two are the foundation of prosperous life and the importance of other standards follows them.
A Muslim, named Hussain Bin Bashar Baseti, wrote a letter with the following content about a person who had asked the hand of his daughter in marriage, to Imam Reza (a.s) and enquired as to what his duty was in the matter:
"... A person from among my relatives, who is ill natured, has asked the hand of my daughter in marriage. What must I do now? Shall I marry my daughter to him or not? What do you say about it?"
Imam wrote in response to his letter:
"If he is ill natured (bad tempered), do not marry your daughter to him."
You see that Imam (a.s) responds distinctly, vividly, and negatively due to this one vice. To live alongside an ill natured and bad tempered person is similar to a life long vigorous imprisonment. The bad temper of one of the two spouses affects the other and the children as well.
