Describing a woman to a stranger

"A woman must not associate with another woman in such a way that the woman describes her to her husband in a way as if he is seeing her." (Bukhari)

This applies to those who like to narrate and listen. But it is allowed to give some details to someone who is interested to send a marriage proposal. Here also one must take precaution because people are too dishonest. They can use the pretext of marriage merely to satisfy their desire.
