Is a young man who promised marriage then deceived and wronged the girl considered to have wronged her? Is her supplication against him considered the supplication of one who has been wronged? Is it permissible for the girl to marry another person after her repentance, knowing that what happened between her and the young man was only video calls?

Allah accepts repentance and forgives sins, and His mercy is vast. The Muslim woman should learn from her past experiences by staying away from forbidden relationships and causes of temptation, and by adhering to the and modesty. What happened should not prevent her from marrying; rather, she should marry for chastity. She should not inform the suitor about what occurred, and she must conceal her past. If she was compliant with the young man in what happened, then she has no right over him, and he is not obliged to fulfill the promise of marriage.
