Can any couple  marry each other who had sexual relation before marriage?<\/font><\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p><font>Islam  has not prescribed an age limit for marriage. Islam however, directs  the Muslims to follow the tradition set by the humans themselves in the  light of the innate guidance provided to them, and the practice of the  Prophets and Messengers which requires that only adult male and female  should enter the marriage bond. By adulthood in this context we mean  mental and physical maturity. <\/font><\/p>\n<div><font>Islam  does not forbid two fornicators to marry each other. If the crime has  not been exposed and brought to the court which sentences them to  prescribed punishment and they realize that they committed serious crime  and turn to their God in repentance they can marry any believing  person. For the matter is not before the society and they have been  granted the opportunity to correct themselves and repent. If they have  the chance to marry each other that would be best. <\/font><\/div>\n<p> <font> <\/p>\n<div>However,  if the case is brought before the court and they have been sentenced  then they can again marry each other for God has prohibited such  criminals from marrying chaste partners and allows them only to marry  each other. Study the following verse:<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>The  male fornicator shall not marry any but a female fornicator or  idolatress, and as for the female fornicator, none shall marry her but a  male fornicator or an idolater; and it is forbidden to the  believers.
