The question

Is it considered hypocrisy to pray to God that I be a virgin and that my marriage be hastened after I became addicted to masturbation following a previous attempted rape?

The answer

Your supplication is permissible, and there is no harm in it, for one who is forced into adultery is not disobedient. However, masturbation is forbidden. Repentance is accepted for every sin if it is sincere, and it involves abstaining from the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it, while concealing oneself and not publicizing the act. If a woman loses her virginity due to a forbidden act, she is not obliged to inform her husband about it; rather, she should conceal it.
