There are a few things to consider when choosing a man or a woman while getting married.

If you like biodata, you have to research well before marriage and get married.
Search at several levels.
1/ Inquire at the workplace of husband/wife's father, inquire from colleagues around, how they will come out as people.
2/ Go to the area of the husband/wife and look for 5-10 houses and shops nearby, then you can know how the neighbors are.
3/ If you are a married woman, you must inform the mosque, the imam muezzin and the elders of the area can tell you whether she comes to the mosque or not.
4/ If the husband/wife is a student, check the place of running studies, then it will come out easily whether he really means religion or not. Anything else bad will come out.
5/ If you are married, definitely find out about his workplace and surroundings. Then the status of his professional life will come out. After checking these few levels if average good news will come.
Then do Istikhara, if the result is good, proceed for marriage in the name of Allah. Before marriage, you must search well and get married, take 10-15 days if necessary.
It is not enough to just look at the biodata, it is best to marry after searching. Marriage is not only of the world, marriage is also an influencer of your going to heaven and hell.
So it would not be wise to proceed without looking into such a serious matter.
Note - you may not get good news in 10 places out of 10 places. You can get bad news in 1-2 places. Many are hostile and bad.
So if there are really bad things, don't ignore them.
These should be carefully handled and moved forward. If you know more methods of searching in your mind, don't forget to comment. Jazhakumullah Khairan.
