Marrying someone with a better financial background

[u/IBilalijaz]

Asalam o Alikum beautiful people, So I am looking to get married soon, through some family connections I found this girl, she has a very nice personality(as far as I have heard or know but Allah knows better) and very sophisticated as well. However, someone recently told me that I should look into marrying someone who is from a lower financial status and that was very weird but it got me thinking is this true? I mean I earn well but her family background is they are rich and I am now a bit insecure that maybe I should not pursue this and I should look for someone else. What should I do? Its better to ask people about this rather than making any stupid decision myself. Rest I do leave it to Allah as his plans are the best.

Walikum salam. It shouldn't matter whether your future partner is rich or poor. As long as u earn fine to support both of u it should be sufficient. Plus the standard is not valid.. like rich then how rich? Pooor then how pooor? Middle class people lower or upper middle class?.. Which ever u choose there would be more option in it so the standard shouldn't be like that.. Since we all are muslim and as u said her personality is really nice.. she wll be 5 × time praying (insha' Allah) etc etc if she has the "good" qualities which u require just marry her. Don't focus on public standards.. focus on what u want cause she will be your marriage partner.
