^ Makes sense. I apologize as I didn't consider this aspect of my comment. I was assuming that he would do Istekhara and then give this comment. But of course if he is not even considering her as an option, then why would he do istekhara. And even if he does, then he is bound to only say what he actually sees in istekhara.
JazakAllah khair for the correction. I didn't realize my mistake at the time I was posting my view.
