DO NOT EXPOSE WOMEN'S PAST

A man came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said: "I had a daughter who was buried alive in pre-Islamic days, but I managed to rescue her before she died. She embraced Islam, but subsequently committed a grave sin (of fornication). She took a blade to kill herself. I only reached her after she had cut some vein close to her throat. I treated her until she fully recovered. Then she repented well. Now I am receiving proposals of marriage with her. Should I tell the suitor of her past?" • Umar said to him: "Do you want to tell of her past? Do you expose what God has kept covered? By God, if you tell any person about her [sexual| past I shall make of you an example for the people of all regions. Give her in marriage like a chaste Muslim woman!" •[Related in al-Tabari's commentary on the Quran Extracts from a taste of honey by Habib Akande

That is how it is supposed to be but nowadays many marriages are coming to an end at their early stage because of these issues, he thought she was a virgin and after marriage found out she wasn't, he feels betrayed and shattered and the trust disappears ....what is marriage without trust, what is marriage with doubt? .....like I said, this is how it is supposed to be but the world we live in now, I don't know what is the right thing to do anymore. Tell the truth before marriage risking loosing him or not telling him and risking being a divorcee....

when people say, I saved myself and she couldn't... makes me wonder, did you do it for the sake of Allah? does that mean if your wife is virgin, you don't want Allah to bless you? Hadith 1, Annawawi
