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!

Allah (The Exalted) Has created us with height destined by His Mercy and Wisdom. If you are still in the growing age, you should pray to Allah (SWT) for suitable height, but if you have already passed the growing age, then you should accept whatever Allah Granted you and be sure that it is the best for you.

Wassalam.
