The answer

The hijab is a divine obligation that protects women and preserves their chastity and purity. If you exert effort in advising a girl and she does not respond, it is better to leave her and seek one who is religious. However, if you marry her, you must compel her to wear the hijab and prevent her from going out unadorned; for qawamah (guardianship/headship) necessitates preventing one's wife from committing forbidden acts.
