Having been married 3 times my wives varied in height. I am about 5'-9" used to be 5'-11" But that is a different topic. My shortest wife was 5'-2" tallest was 6'-3" I never noticed the height of either. So, my choice was I don't care.

Well....to answer the question directly, I am a 6'2'' (pushing 6'3'') Italian dude (yes i know thats odd for an Italian, usualy we are very short) and i married a 5'2'' (barely) ;D South Indian woman. So i guess we can conclude....I will marry a short woman....very short woman!;D and she can marry a giant;D I am a foot taller than she is;D She has to stand on a stool to help me tie my tie, on my suit. She even needs to step on a stool just to give me a k***.lol........no PDA folks

lol your post made me laugh, I have a friend who's kind of in the same situation,she said she liked feeling tiny next to him,haha. Although she was 5'6 ish and he was 6'-4 or something.. mash'Allah

Personally I'd prefer him to be taller than me, no real reason to it. Although, if a man who had all the traits and qualities I searched for, and was an inch shorter than me, then I don't think I'd care.

Generally though, I would prefer him to be taller, so I opted for the fourth option.
 
I voted, no. I would prefer my future wife to be a little shorter than me! :embarrass
 
for hugging purposes shorter ...so i can squeeze the life out of her ! but tall is also good inshallah

short and plump is perfect :)

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

It surely surprises me how so many people can vote they would NOT like to marry a taller / shorter woman / man. Since when did the person's look and height become an important thing in considering whether you can marry a certain person or not? Yes, you might look at a person in the street and prefere the man to be taller, or the woman to be shorter. But firstly in this case we shall lower our gaze, which means we shall not even look at people from the other sex on the street. Then if we consider marriage, who is that shallow that you prefere a person of a special height instead of the knowledge in Islam, the moral, the way of life the person has? It is nothing but ridiculous.

However I voted "I don't care". I can marry a man taller than myself, or shorter than myself. And you can divorce a man taller than yourself, or shorter than yourself, because you chose a person who wasn't good for you. In the end it is about the person's inside and acts, not height.

walaikum assalam,
You are partially correct. Yes, morals, piety are also important. But Islam also allows us to marry those people to whom we are physically attracted. There is no point in marrying a wife/husband who does not physically attract you. If a person is most religious in the town but he/she ignores his/her health and is quite overweight, is there an obligation to marry that person? ....No offense to people who are overweight but we all have preferences.
