Is it permissible for a man to marry the daughter of a woman with whom he committed adultery, knowing that he has repented from the adultery, and that the said daughter was eighteen years old at the time the adultery occurred?
Adultery is a grave crime that necessitates sincere repentance. It is advised to stay away from places of indecency and disobedience, as this is part of perfecting repentance. It is not recommended to marry the daughter of the woman with whom one committed adultery because proximity to her mother reminds one of the indecency and may lead to a return to disobedience. The issue of the permissibility of marrying the daughter of the woman with whom one committed adultery is a matter of scholarly disagreement, with the preponderant opinion being permissibility, because adultery does not entail the same legal ramifications as a valid marriage contract. However, it is recommended not to marry her as a precaution and out of fear of returning to disobedience.
