Yup people just marry people you consider to be physically ugly, lets see how long you last before you start looking at the more attractive ones. He who considers beauty not a criteria of marriage is merely being overly sanctimonious or is blind to reality. Looks are important and one should marry someone they consider to be physically attractive, when possible. No one is saying this is the most important criteria, as we all know the piety of the individual is far more important, but what's wrong with covering all basis? Looks do fade and become less important, but initially when you are deprived of the mutual understanding, looks are sometimes just as important as other factors in maintaining a relationship.

Salam,
well may be it is not about generally considred beauty but individual perception of beauty. I know many examples when men and women married not attractive partner (fat, ugly...) and spent beautiful life.

That is why I said;

As everyone perception of physical beauty is different, even though generic perceptions of what is beautiful, have been drilled into our brains over the centuries.
