Modesty

Modesty, sometimes known as demureness, is a mode of dress and deportment which intends to avoid the encouraging of sexual attraction in others. The word modesty comes from the Latin word modestus which means 'keeping within measure'.
In this use, revealing certain body parts is considered inappropriate, thus immodest.

Woman . Height . Husband . Modesty

It is good to see whether you are attracted to someone before marrying them (although attraction tends to be different from just specific features, such as height).

There is nothing wrong with considering height or certain traits of appearance, but sometimes people have a bias about what sorts of features they like or dislike, and this might lead to rejecting someone who you might otherwise be compatible with. So it is good to keep an open mind about what a prospective husband might look like. Someone who looks different from the idea you have in mind could be a pleasant surprise!

Thank you for your question. An inappropriate comment from someone else doesn't necessitate a change on your behalf unless you think there is something genuinely pointed out that you need to address. The onus of the inappropriate comment lies on the one that made it. Niqab is not obligatory for women according to most jurists in our current times.

May you always be successful
