Is it permissible for the sister to have an abortion, knowing that she is pregnant out of wedlock, and the young man refuses to acknowledge the child, and her parents advise her to have an abortion, while she wishes to keep the child hoping for the young man's return?

The sister and the family must command the sister to sincere repentance and prevent her from the causes of disobedience, such as intermingling (with unrelated men) and private seclusion (with unrelated men). Then, the fetus must be preserved because it is innocent, and a crime should not be remedied with another crime by killing a soul or neglecting it. The young man's statement that he is ready to go to Hell is an indication of his weak faith. The parents must continue to care for the sister and call her to repentance to prevent the problem from escalating.
