The question

Does the marriage contract for a girl who has committed fornication and repented differ from the marriage contract for a virgin or a previously married woman? Is a dowry required for her, or is it reduced, or does she arrange her own marriage? Is her marriage considered unlawful if she marries like a virgin without informing her father? Is her silence and concealment permissible?

The answer

A woman who has committed adultery is obliged to repent and conceal her sin. The marriage of a repentant adulteress does not differ from the marriage of any other woman; she is married through her guardian, and the dowry is agreed upon by the husband and her guardians, or it may be the customary dowry for a previously married woman if there is a reason for that. She is not obligated to disclose the reason for the loss of her virginity.
