What is the ruling on a woman marrying another man without informing him of an abortion she underwent as a result of a previous illicit relationship, and what is the ruling on the man who engaged in the relationship with her and financially assisted her in that procedure if he marries another woman? Is the woman considered an adulteress with her new husband every time they are intimate, and does the first man bear her sin despite his assistance to her?

Adultery is a heinous sin and a major transgression. If it results in a pregnancy, it is not permissible to abort it, just as it is not permissible to reconstruct the hymen, due to the ensuing exposure of private parts and the encouragement of immorality. If you repent from adultery, there is no impediment to marriage; choose a man of religion and good character. If the husband does not stipulate virginity, do not inform him; but if he does stipulate it, then inform him. If the marriage contract is concluded, then conjugal relations are permissible. The man with whom you committed adultery bears the burden of his immoral act and the burden of assisting in the forbidden abortion and hymen reconstruction. There is no objection to accepting him as a husband if he repents.
