If the marital intimacy takes place after the legal marriage contract and before the wedding, there is no objection to it. However, if it occurs before the legal marriage contract, it is considered fornication (zina) and repentance for it is obligatory. Abortion is forbidden (), and whoever participates in it is sinful. You are permitted to divorce your wife if the disagreement is deeply entrenched, but resolving the dispute is more preferable. A woman is not permitted to seek divorce unless there is harm.
