Should the young woman continue her relationship with her married manager, with whom she has had a four-year affair, or should she accept marriage to another man chosen by her mother?

You must initiate sincere repentance from the forbidden relationship by abandoning the sin, regretting it, resolving not to return to it, immediately cutting off the relationship with this man, avoiding the causes of sin, and beware of despairing of Allah's mercy and the devil's whispers to commit suicide. For Allah accepts the repentance of His servant and rejoices in it, and He transforms evil deeds into good ones. And the one who repents from sin is like one who has no sin. Strive in obedience and keep away from disobedience, and accept marriage from a righteous man.
