What kind of husband should she and her family choose for her?
The family of the fiancée and the fiancée have to choose the righteous husband. He (the Prophet) ﷺ said:
"If there comes to you someone with whose religious commitment you are pleased..."
Look he (the Prophet ﷺ) started with the religion first.
"...someone with whose religious commitment and character you are pleased, then marry (your daughter or other female relative under your care) to him, for if you do not, there will be tribulation on the earth and much corruption!"[1]
You are pleased with his religious commitment; he is upright upon his religion, he adheres to his religion and to carrying out the obligatory deeds and staying away from the prohibited matters. And his character; you are also pleased with his character. That he is not a fool or of bad character, for that could cause trouble in the marriage and it could lead to the separation. Therefore one has to choose the righteous husband. The guardian of the woman and the woman herself have to choose the husband who is righteous with regards to his religion and his character, because certain things are going to result from that in the future. Hence the purpose of marriage is not to fulfil one's lust only, but rather to lay a solid foundation for the family.

على أهل المخطوبة والمخطوبة أن تختار الزوج الصالح. قال صلى الله عليه وسلم: اذا اتاكم من ترضون دينه. شوف بدأ بالدين. من ترضون دينه وخلقه فزوجوه إن لا تفعلوا تكون فتنة في الأرض وفساد كبير. ترضون دينه: هو مستقيم على الدين ومحافظ على دينه وعلى أداء الفرائض وترك المحرمات. وخلقه: وترضون خلقه أيضا. أن لا يكون أحمق أو سيء الخلق لأن هذا يسبب التكدر في الزوجية قد يفضي إلى الفراق. فلابد أن يختار الزوج الصالح. يجب على ولي المرأة وعلى المرأة نفسها أن يختاروا الزوج الصالح في دينه وخلقه لأن هذا يترتب عليه أمورا في المستقل. فليس الزواج لقضاء الشهوة فقط وإنما هو تأسيس للأسرة
