    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 543/543=M/1429)

     

    It is lawful to marry a girl elder than you, as the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) married Hazrat Khadeejah (رضی اللہ عنھا), but talking to your fianc?e unnecessarily, meeting and walking with her is un-Islamic and unlawful, so you should avoid it.
