If the legal marriage contract (aqd) has been concluded, the woman becomes a wife, and it becomes permissible for the man to communicate with her, touch her body, and see her. Seeing her via video is not prohibited, but caution must be exercised against hacking. However, if it was merely an engagement, the woman is still a stranger to the suitor, and repentance is necessary for what occurred. It is advisable to expedite the marriage due to the good it contains.
