Either you are engineer or in different field, it is a hard story like every child is born and they have their uniqueness. Time, culture, society, value, respect are different to every person and it is hard to judge. Exactly, same I was, engineer, working, quit the job for marriage, started further education thinking that the girl from the home country better than here. But, don't try to make a single judgment to everyone, even people drink beer and had lot of boyfriends might be good in inner heart than who had never a boyfriend or vice -versa. A girl who is religious might not be always good than the girl who goes to bar. But in fact, it is hard to accept who had 10 boyfriends still in our society. So here a point is you can ruin your life with a beautiful girl without boyfriend in entire life and with good religious belief also (she might be completely different than you even if you think that is a ideal condition).

Final thing is the more you can handle time, culture, society value, respect with you personal satisfaction and if it matches at least with some point with other might be an ideal match for some time, but you don't know where you are off, where woman are off, where your wife is off.

It is one of the hardest subject in human kind, human man, its value, why to have marriage, have a sex, why divorce, why crime, why humiliation, why differences between the people. So, live your life at least with least stress but it is hard, you will have stress until you die.
