Signs of Virginity Can be Lost Due to Reasons other Than Sexual Intercourse

Question :

A young man made 'Aqd Al-Qiran with a young woman and when he had sexual intercourse with her, he found that she was not a virgin, although he is certain that she has not been married, so he was overcome by doubts about her. So what should he do, should he divorce her? Or should he speak frankly with her and demand to know the truth? What do you advise him to do?

Answer:

We think that you should not attach any importance to this, because the signs of virginity can be lost due to causes other than sexual intercourse, such as by physical exercise, profuse menstrual bleeding, or the insertion of a finger (e.g., during medical examinations).

At the same time, there is no objection to asking the girl about the reason for the loss of virginity and if she claims innocence and denies illegal sexual intercourse, then you must believe her. If she claims sexual intercourse took place in error or by force, then she is excused. But if she admits illegal sexual intercourse and shows remorse and repentance, then Allah accepts the repentance of His worshippers.
