Marrying a Tall Man

The Shu”t Mishneh Halachos (12:271) was asked whether it is important to try to find a tall chosson. After reviewing many of the sources cited above, he concludes that there is indeed some advantage — provided the man’s stature is proportionate, gives him a dignified and impressive appearance, and he is also wise and spiritually developed.

However, when comparing prospective matches, spiritual stature always takes precedence over physical height. Only when the spiritual level is equally exceptional may one consider physical stature as an added virtue.
