There is no objection to a girl practicing sports suitable for women, provided they adhere to Islamic guidelines. However, it is forbidden if it takes place in a mixed environment with men. It is recommended, though not obligatory, to inform the fiancé if the virginity was lost due to a reason other than intercourse; rather, this better safeguards the woman's honor. It must be noted that the fiancé is a stranger (non-mahram), and it is not permissible to address him except for a legitimate need.
