What should a repentant girl do who has committed Zina (fornication/adultery) multiple times, and is now seeking repentance, fearing Allah's punishment and disgrace, and is wondering how to start a new life and overcome her fear of future marriage while keeping her secret?

We ask Allah to accept your repentance, forgive you, and make you steadfast. This decision of yours is a new birth in the world of faith and purity, and preserving it is the most important thing. Since repentance erases what came before it, there is no blame upon you for not remembering your past sins, and it is not permissible for you to tell anyone about them. You are not a liar by doing so, for repentance obliterates what came before it, and a servant is commanded to conceal himself.
