What happened was a seduction by Satan. Allah has forbidden zina (fornication/adultery) and the paths leading to it. Therefore, the questioner must repent and immediately separate from the girl. If the girl repents and becomes religious, it is permissible to marry her after she gives birth. Otherwise, it is not permissible, as it is not allowed to marry a zaniyah (fornicatress/adulteress) or a disbeliever. If she insists on her current state, he must leave her, bearing in mind that a child born out of zina is attributed to its mother.
