Second part of the interview.
A gem from the start:
So when a girl is "taking proposals", i.e. the parents decide to marry her off, a man who comes to ask for marriage and is allowed "one look".
That is the prospective suitor is allowed to look at the prospective bride once (!), that's halal, but he's not allowed to look at her again, because any further looks would be haram.
He can look at her as long as he wants, but after he looks away, he's not supposed to look at her until they're married.
This in a community practicing strict shia islam.
Details vary in different communities, but this is one "scriptural" version.
Shia is also the version that allows temporary marriages for all kinds of "reasons".
