How can I find a good husband?

As-salamu alaykum, I'm a Muslim sister living in Australia, and honestly, I'm in a bit of a tricky spot. I embraced the Sunni path when I was 15, Alhamdulillah, and it's been the right choice for me, but lately, I've been thinking a lot about marriage and it's been stressing me out. Here's the thing: my family is strongly Shia from Iraq, and they don't know about my Sunni beliefs. I'm living with them and don't want to upset my mum, so telling them isn't an option right now. I really want to marry a man who's on the right deeni path, but getting my dad's approval feels almost impossible-it's like he'd never agree even if the skies fell. Finding someone is another challenge; I don't interact with men outside mahram, dress modestly in public, and honestly have no idea who I'd want as a husband, but I do want to get married. All my friends found spouses through family connections, but I can't do that. I'm not just looking to marry for faith and kids; I also dream of having love in my marriage. I keep making dua and imagining different possibilities, but sometimes it just seems hopeless. What would you do if you were in my shoes? Jazakallah khair for any advice.

Insha'Allah it'll work out. Maybe connect with sisters at the masjid? They might know someone suitable.

Sis, that sounds so tough. Keep making dua and trust Allah's plan. Maybe try online matrimonial sites that respect our values?

Praying for you! I understand family pressure can be overwhelming. Stay patient and consider speaking with a trusted scholar for guidance.
