Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

May Allah reward you for your keenness on looking for a righteous wife; for it is this type of wife that fulfills her husband’s rights over her, helps him with regard to his religiosity and worldly life, and raises his children to be righteous people. It was narrated on the authority of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr that the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “The worldly life is but temporary enjoyments; and the best temporary enjoyment of life is a righteous woman.” [Muslim]

You can find such a wife, Allah willing, and there is nothing wrong with searching for her. You should strive in supplication, have good expectation of your Lord, and hope that He will grant you what would please you. Indeed, Allah, The Exalted, is as His Slave expects Him to be. It was narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Allah Says: ‘I am as My Slave expects of Me, and I am with him when he calls upon Me.’” [Muslim] You may also seek the help of some reliable righteous people in your search.

Allah Knows best.
