Should a suitor leave his fiancée who uttered a word that upset him, despite her love for him and her repeated apologies?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Heartfelt love is not sinful. However, if it is accompanied by speech, gazing, or seclusion (khalwa), then it is a transgression that necessitates repentance. A suitor is a stranger to his fiancée, and it is not permissible for him to gaze at her, be in seclusion with her, or speak with her on the phone without need. Communication must be cut off after the engagement is confirmed, except for a necessity and with controls. Repentance is obligatory for transgressing boundaries in jest and other matters, as sin at the beginning of marriage can turn a blessing into a curse. The fiancée's statement indicates her preoccupation with immoral television series, and she must stop watching them as they are forbidden. If she does not comply, then seek someone else.
