Is it permissible to marry a girl who became pregnant out of wedlock, then was forced to marry the fornicator and was subsequently divorced, knowing that marrying her would be a means of saving her?
The marriage of an adulterer to the woman with whom he committed adultery before her womb is cleared is a matter of dispute, and some jurists validate it. It is not permissible for a guardian to force a girl to marry someone she does not desire. If she agrees under duress, she does not have the option of annulment. If the marriage is not annulled and no divorce or ’ occurs, it is not permissible to marry her due to the impediment. However, if her husband divorces her and her waiting period ends, there is no objection to marrying her, and that might even be preferable. It is not permissible to form a relationship with a foreign woman, and the sin is greater if she is married.
