Is it permissible for a young man to marry a girl with whom he previously had an illicit relationship, given that the girl's parents reject this marriage, and the young man's parents are unaware of what transpired? What is the ruling on them resorting to a marriage officiant (ma'dhūn) in the event of the girl's parents' refusal? And is it permissible to bring the girl to the young man's house with only his father's approval to avoid falling into further sins?

What happened between the questioner and the girl is a sin that necessitates sincere repentance. They must immediately sever the forbidden relationship. A lawful marriage is possible if their repentance is sincere and the girl's guardian agrees, while striving to convince her father to marry them off immediately. The questioner must also invite his mother to Islam.
