Does an adulteress have to marry an adulterer?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I love a Muslim girl and wanted to marry her but she commited zina previously with someone else and she repented for that sin. Her argument is that she will only marry a zani male cause its written in the Quran. She can’t find any Ayat and Hadees which mentions that the zaniya who repents can marry any muslim male.  So I want to know if you could please give me any ayat or hadees where it mention that a zaniya that repents can marry any muslim male.

Bismillaah

A: This is not the meaning of the verse. The meaning of the verse is that a zani generally is inclined towards a zaniyah and so too a zaniyah is inclined to a zaani. For such people it is not permissible to do self studies.

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