What should I do about a three-year romantic relationship that faltered due to family rejection and in which repeated violations of Islamic law occurred? Should I confront the father and the current fiancé with the reality of our relationship, hoping for a religiously sanctioned marriage and to rectify what we have corrupted, or what should I do in this difficult situation?

Attachment to a non- woman, being alone with her, looking at her, and deriving pleasure from her body are all forbidden matters due to their contravention of religious texts. The questioner must repent and cut off his relationship with this girl, and abandon the thought of marrying her because she is not religious, and she agreed with him in sins, and due to her guardian's obstinacy. He must leave the workplace that brings them together if possible; otherwise, he should cut off his relationship with her. It should be noted that defaming her is forbidden and impermissible, whatever the intention behind it may be.
