Boy's father and uncles seeing the girl before the nikaah
Question
I am about to get married. My father, his elder brother, his elder sister and her husband are going to the bride’s house to see the bride and discuss the marriage. However my about to be wife is unwilling to uncover her face infront of them. What can be done to solve this dilemma because they all want to see the girl with whom their son is about to get married to.
Answer
Ask them to postpone the desire to see until after the marriage. She is right in not allowing strangers to look at her. However, after marriage the boy's father will no longer be a stranger.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
