What is the ruling on marrying a girl who does not cover her face until she gets married?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And this says: What is the ruling on marrying a girl who displays her adornment, meaning she does not cover her face, and if she marries she will adhere to the Shari'ah hijab?

The Shaykh : It is obligatory for this girl to fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in herself and in the daughters of her kind, because if she displays her adornment, she becomes a key to evil and becomes one of those about whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever introduces a bad practice in Islam, he will bear its sin and the sin of whoever acts according to it until the Day of Resurrection من سن في الإسلام سنة سيئة فعليه وزرها ووزر من عمل بها إلى يوم القيامة
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 12:118
, and it is obligatory for her guardian to prevent her from going out to the markets with her face uncovered or displaying her adornment, and if a woman sees firmness, strength, and vigor in her guardian, she will submit to him, but if she sees negligence from him, she will do whatever she pleases, as for the proposal of this woman, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) says:
A woman is married for four things, i.e., her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So you should marry the religious woman (otherwise) you will be a losers. تنكح المرأة لأربع : لمالها وحسبها وجمالها ودينها فاظفر بذات الدين تربت يداك
Sahih al-Bukhari 5090
, and the woman who displays her adornment and goes out to the markets displaying her adornment is undoubtedly deficient in her religion, so let him choose a woman who is better than this woman, yes.
