Question

A woman says she married a virtuous man. But she had committed things
before marriage that Allah disapproves of. Now her conscience pricks her. She
would like to know if it is necessary for her to confess to her husband what she
used to do before marriage?

Praise be to Allah.

As for he who married a virgin, but it became apparent to him at consummation that she is
not so for reasons of promiscuity committed before marriage, then he has the to take back
the mahr (dower) he paid her and separate from her. Nevertheless, if he finds that she has
truly repented, then if he keeps it confidential and conceals the matter and retains her in
marriage, surely he will be rewarded for it by Allah.
