Does my marriage to a woman with whom I committed Zina, and then discovered that she had previously sent pictures of herself with her hair uncovered and in short clothing to another person, constitute Dayouthah (cuckoldry)? And must I distance myself from her despite my intense love for her?
"Relationships between young men and women, under the pretext of love and marriage, are a gateway to evil and corruption, contradicting the guidance of Islam which protected women. Adultery is among the most heinous sins, and Allah has forbidden even approaching it. Repentance from adultery involves abandoning the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it, not by marrying the woman with whom one committed adultery. It is not permissible for a man who committed adultery to marry the woman with whom he committed adultery except after repentance and the completion of her ' (waiting period). If both have repented, then marriage is permissible."
