Broken?

Religion. Hashkafa. Perspective. All very powerful words. Will it make it or break it? I found out that the mother of the girl I am dating does not cover her hair. Should that be a break it issue?

Update: I asked my Rabbi if it should be an issue and he said that if everything else looks ok and the parents are honest people then it should not be an issue. Now, how do I find out if they are honest people?

If you decide that this girl's mother's hair covering breaks the shidduch, does that also mean that you wouldn't date a baal teshuvah? Does that mean that you don't think that someone can, at least externally, surpass the level of her parents? Does that mean that her mother didn't teach her good middos, interpersonal skils and giving the benefit of the doubt, all of which are based on Torah? To end a shidduch based on something like this, if everything else is going well, would be stupidity (and I don't usually use such strong language).
