How can the desire for marriage and procreation be curbed while believing in Allah's divine decree and destiny concerning a lack of beauty? And will a woman's appearance in Paradise be identical to her appearance in this world, or will she become beautiful even if she was deprived of beauty in this world?

Allah has apportioned provisions, including outward appearance. All of Allah’s creation is beautiful, and marriage is a matter of divine decree and destiny. Whoever is unable to marry should practice chastity and be patient until Allah enriches them from His bounty. They should also lower their gaze and fast, for indeed it is a shield for them. In Paradise, there is nothing ugly, and women there will possess a high degree of beauty. "And couches raised high" means women of elevated status in their beauty and perfection. The men of Paradise will be resurrected at the age of thirty, in the likeness of Yusuf.
