Answer:
(Fatwa: 2004/1545=H)
If the ijaab and Qubool (offer of nikah from one side and acceptance from the other side) was rightly done with all conditions, the nikah took place. If she had any physical relation with anybody she should repent to Allah and ask for His forgiveness, and should avoid having any relation again with the man and thus she should intend to intend to live happily with her husband.
(2) The parents are generally and naturally well-wishers of their children, so they are more farsighted and intelligent in this regard than their children, therefore initiative taken by the parents of the girl is better.
(3) It did not affect the nikah. Yes, she should repent to Allah sincerely from the sin she committed and shun such acts in future. There is no need to confess the sin in front of her husband, rather she should keep quiet.
