Rejection of the Suitor for Scientific and Social Differences

Question
A girl of beauty, knowledge, and wealth, along with her family, has young men proposing to her for marriage and connection, but they are of a lower scientific and social level. Is she sinful for rejecting them for this reason?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: If she has a better opportunity for marriage, she may choose and wait a little. If not, she should hasten to choose a husband if he is suitable religiously and socially. And God knows best.
