She had 5 boyfriends in the past. One after the other (as oppose to all at once…). Slept regularly with them. Willingly and planned - they were no accidental encounters. She is now ready to be married and settle down and have kids. She admits this to you. Does not have regrets.
She has been honest. You have a good understanding with her, you guys get along, in all other respects you find her to be perfect, but there is this one thing that she has admitted to you.

Do you marry her?
The real question is, if she has really decided turn around and live a shareef life, how necessary is it for her to disclose her past to her potential life partner?

Unless the person contracted an STD/HIV/AIDS and/or was pregnant (or got someone else pregnant), I don't think they're obligated to tell anything.
I said this in the other thread too, if a person truly repents, they're not obligated to confess to anyone. Alot of ppl may not like this but, oh well.

Except a women unless she has the hymenoplasty surgery may not be able to not disclose her past relationships. I'm not saying that her not having an intact hymen is indicative of her lack of virginity, but if asked point blank why her hymen is not intact, lying about it compounds the situation.
Do you remember the case in France where the husband sought an annullment because he argued that his wife lied about her virginity and the lie was tantamount to her committing fraud?
i wonder what happens to all the 35 yr old virgins who get married, have sex, and see how much of a big deal it actually is or isnt. do they weep for not having picked a partner based on some criteria that actually matters? i say if she can cook and clean, she's in the running.
1) if I don't have a past with 5 folks, she shouldn't have one either.
2) 5 is a lot of people. shows a serious lack of commitment and maturity especially within the context of our community, culture and upbringing.
This is mostly a hypothetical question, to answer it no I would not have a problem with it provided she is free of STD s & previous children. Mind you five sexual relationships in North America is very very scarce these days, people have been around a lot & apparently this is considered quite normal.
No I have not been with anyone sexually but apart from me nobody gives a damn, let me tell you it is bloody hard to remain this way, religious conviction & bodybuilding regimes have helped a lot to keep me this way. Even though marriage has it's benefits and the only available means of intimate relationship with a woman, I have over time just lost interest in marriage, partly due to a highly dysfunctional family (which I have no longer contact with) & partly due to extreme distaste to obligation, duty & difficult responsibility of raising children specially in a increasingly secular surroundings. Thankfully my religion has given me a choice in this matter and made it easier to go against the accepted norm.
