Is it permissible to marry a girl born out of wedlock, and what should I do if my family does not approve of this marriage, knowing that she is of good character, her mother raised her with good morals, and I love her?

It is permissible to marry the daughter of zina if she is of good character and religious, even though marriage to a woman of noble lineage is more preferable. The questioner should honor and obey his parents and treat them kindly, for this is a duty that Allah has linked to His Oneness. Obeying them by not marrying this woman is considered an act of righteousness, for it has been reported that the father is the middle gate of Paradise, meaning its best and highest part.
