The engaged couple must repent of the transgressions that occurred between them, for repentance atones for sins. This act does not necessitate the dissolution of the engagement; rather, it is more appropriate to proceed with the marriage contract and complete the marriage. It is not permissible to inform the wife's family of what happened; instead, one must conceal their own faults, because openly declaring sins is a cause for not being forgiven. It is important to note that there are Islamic boundaries for the relationship between engaged couples that must not be overstepped.
