There are three principles any person claiming to be rational and moral ought to have: that of submitting to
1) Truth
2) Logic
3) Morality
No marriageable woman ie a woman of good character of child-bearing age who is rational and moral would want to marry a man who does not at least subscribe to these three principles.
The first two principles are easy enough to understand, but what is morality?
I would say it is a system of rules designed to keep the group in existence and apart from others. Religion has this effect and some religions are better at it than others. If the man in question is atheist, then he must at least be prepared to discuss what morality means, if he disagrees with my definition. Unfortunately, most women are not capable of having this discussion, though if she is already of good character, she should have a father capable of having this discussion with her intended.
Dishonest, irrational and immoral people would not be capable of having this discussion and should not be permitted to marry, for obvious reasons.
