Her sisters talk to her and her mother talks to her now..its her father who isn't talking. He thinks he is doing the best thing he can in the situation, to let her come to him. but they have a pretty *strained relationship from teh start.

Well, at least it's good that the other family members are talking to her. Maybe the dad might come around after she has the baby. He's being immature. It's clearly a pride issue. How does the "waiting for her to come to ME" attitude......undo the mistake that was made.........or play a role in divine forgiveness...........or even better their strained relationship? There's absolutely no benefits whatsoever from such mentality. She can seek his forgiveness for betraying his trust......but the sin itself was not committed against him. She committed the gunnah against the boundaries set by Allah and against her own soul........so this sin requires Allah's forgiveness more than the parent's. If he can't realize that...........then it's mostly his wounded pride that he's placing above EVERYTHING. Anyhow, hopefully he'll come around one day.
