Sincerely repenting for one’s past

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: A muslim unmarried girl has affairs with multiple hindu boys for several years secretly and her family is not aware. Now her family is getting her married to a muslim boy. She says that she has realized now that she did wrong and would like to do Tawbah. Can she repent now? Will her repentance be accepted? And now how can she repent?

Bismillaah

A: She should sincerely repent to Allah Ta’ala for her past sins and make a firm resolve that she will never repeat it in the future. She should not disclose her past to her husband or to anybody else.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
