The answer

Both the man and the woman must repent sincerely for committing the indecency, as the fiancée is considered a stranger to the suitor before the marriage contract. The subsequent marriage is deemed invalid, and the child resulting from this relationship is illegitimate and cannot be attributed to the man.
