Before my now husband and I started dating, I remember one conversation where <\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">he said to me \u2018 please don\u2019t ever feel obligated to be with me.

Admitting to having been in a relationship with your now-husband before marriage indicates that it was a haram (forbidden) relationship. Islam does not permit any romantic or sexual relationships outside the bounds of marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">The Quran and Hadith provide clear guidance on this matter:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Surah An-Nur (24:30-31) &#8220;Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do. And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">&#8220;The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, &#8216;No man should be alone with a woman except when there is a mahram with her.'&#8221;<sup>1<\/sup> (Jami Tirmidhi 2793)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Therefore, to further mention any previous conduct that you may have been involved in would now be futile and moving on, given that your previous relationship was haram, the laws of marriage and divorce as per Islamic Sharia would not apply to the pre-marital phase of your relationship. It is important to differentiate between actions taken before marriage and those within the marriage itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">If, during your marriage, your husband says words that imply divorce, this would indeed be a different situation.
