The answer

The greatest tribulation of desires is the temptation of men by women. As a recurring scenario, a man seduces a woman and has sexual relations with her, then abandons her. The girl must learn from this and repent sincerely, and her friend should help her in this. As for her engagement, she should proceed with it as long as she hopes for good and righteousness from the young man. She is not permitted to repair her hymen, as this is deception and fraud. However, she should not expose herself; rather, she should proceed. If her husband does not notice after marriage, and Allah conceals her secret, then she should continue as she is. If he discovers the hymen’s rupture, she can hint that it was due to an accident. If she cannot do that, and the husband discovers the loss of her virginity, he has the right to annul the marriage and reclaim the dowry and marriage expenses he paid to her. Perhaps if she offers him that, he might conceal her secret. And perhaps the annulment of her marriage might be better and more concealing for her.
