Question
When the boy and girl view one another for marriage purposes, are they allowed to speak?
Answer
The boy and girl may only view each other briefly, not speak. Other measures should be adopted to investigate the characters. It is not possible to know the character and attitudes merely by viewing. The purpose of viewing is to only discern if there is an emotional attraction. If there is no emotional attraction at first sight, it is then best not to proceed with marriage.
