It is not permissible for a husband to question his wife about her past, nor is it permissible to reproach a sinner for a sin from which they have repented. The husband should look at his wife's current state: if she is upright, then he should keep her and treat her kindly, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "And live with them in kindness," and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The best among you is the best to his family."
