The answer

It is permissible to marry a girl who previously lived an undisciplined life if she has repented and mended her ways. However, if the suitor doubts her sincerity, it is better for him not to marry her, and the presence of virginity does not preclude doubt. There are cases where a man becomes convinced of a woman's righteousness and marries her seeking reward from Allah. Whoever is asked for advice should advise with what they deem correct and appropriate for the situation. For anyone who has fallen into forbidden acts, it is advised to repent, return to Allah, seek forgiveness, and conceal their past, whether male or female.
