How can one make the right decision regarding marriage to a Muslim girl who is not religiously committed, taking into consideration the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) saying: “A woman is married for four reasons: for her wealth, for her noble lineage, for her beauty, and for her religion. So choose the one who is religious, and you will prosper,” and with the mother’s objection due to differing cultural backgrounds?

There are many obstacles to your marriage to this girl, including your lack of conviction in her as a wife for you, your mother's rejection of marriage from outside your community, and the difficulty of bringing her back to your country later. It seems you experienced an emotional moment tinged with pity. The most appropriate course of action is to turn away from this marriage due to these obstacles, especially since unity of environment and culture is important for a successful marriage. However, if you perceive genuine uprightness from her, and you can convince your mother, and you predominantly believe that you can overcome the cultural differences, then there is no impediment to serious consideration. With a warning regarding the prohibition of maintaining a relationship with her before a legal, Islamic marriage.
