What is the ruling on a girl marrying a young man with whom she committed zina (fornication/adultery) multiple times, and from whom she bore a child after becoming pregnant by him, knowing that he does not pray, curses religion, consumes drugs, and insults her family? And is it permissible for her to cling to him out of fear of scandal?

This girl is enduring the bitterness of her leniency, her fall into immorality, and the forbidden abortion. The man mentioned is an infidel due to his cursing of religion, so it is not permissible to marry him unless he repents. Her sisters' advice to marry him is deception. She must cut off her relationship with him and repent to Allah. She is permitted to protect herself from scandal through lawful means, such as informing a future husband that the hymen can be broken by various causes.
