Fine. But adultery can only be committed  after being married right. If for the sake of discussion some married  person commits adultery what should the other partner do as far as Islam  is concerned? Should he or she leave the other partner or should he or  she make him or her understand that it is wrong? If he or she is  required to leave the adulterer partner should it be done through proper  divorce according to Islam or <em>nikah<\/em> would instantly be cancelled? <\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>The ruling is not restricted to adultery (<em>zina<\/em> by the married) but includes the fornicators (<em>zina<\/em> by the unmarried). However, it is when a person commits <em>zina<\/em> and is convicted then he is not allowed to marry a chaste woman. <\/p>\n<div>Another  case is when a wife accuses her husband or the husband accuses his wife  of adultery and there are no witnesses both are separated after <em>li\u2018aan<\/em> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.al-mawrid.org\/pages\/articles_urdu_detail.php?rid=303&#038;cid=242\">Qazaf<\/a>) Such a person is not equal to a convicted <em>zani<\/em> yet the couple is separated because at least according to that particular partner the other partner is a <em>zani<\/em>. <\/div>\n<div>Muslims  are encouraged not to bring any such thing in public and keep it to  themselves. However, the person involved must be counseled and advised. <\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-14<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6113\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I  was reading your article about adultery and found out it is forbidden  in Islam to marry an adulterer.
