Answer
1) What do you mean by opening lights at Maghrib time? Is it a custom and do
people regard that as compulsory?
2) We advise you make Mashwara (consult) and Istikhaara (seek Divine
guidance - attached) in making a decision. With that, you should make Du'aa
to Allah Ta'ala to guide you towards whatever is best for you - doing
Aalimah course or marrying before that.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
