The answer

The verse: "And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another" is evidence that no one is held accountable for the sin of another. Therefore, a father's fornication does not delay his daughters' marriage. A Muslim must repent immediately if he commits fornication, as it is a grave sin. The woman and her guardian should exert efforts to find a husband for her, including supplication and presenting the matter to one they deem suitable.
