This answer advises resorting to Allah, sincere repentance, and turning to Him, and increasing good deeds and benevolence towards Allah's creation. It calls for repentance from the error of loving a foreign person, leaving home, visiting him, repeatedly committing adultery with him, and aborting an innocent fetus. It clarifies that the man's family has the right to refuse their son's marriage to a woman who commits adultery. It explains that her claim against him for adultery or abortion is not proven unless there are witnesses to the beating. It also advises concealing one's sins, migrating from the neighborhood, seeking righteous female friends and a suitable husband, occupying oneself with learning the two revelations (Quran and Sunnah), reading the biographies of the Salaf (pious predecessors) and stories of penitents, and contemplating the terrors of the Afterlife.
