The answer

If a legal marriage contract () has been concluded, the woman is permitted to be alone with her fiancé and treat him as a husband; otherwise, he remains a stranger to her.

The white substance, if it is semen with specific characteristics (smell of dough or palm pollen, pleasure, languor after emission), then it necessitates (ritual bath); otherwise, it is madhy (pre-seminal fluid) which necessitates wudu (ablution) and washing whatever it has touched. Wetness after sleep necessitates ghusl if it is semen; otherwise, it does not. Doubt between semen and madhy necessitates ghusl, while doubt between semen, madhy, and other discharges does not necessitate ghusl.

The emission of semen or madhy during fasting due to talking to the fiancé invalidates the fast. Regarding the effect of the discharge on the hymen, one should consult a specialized doctor.
