Question:
A listener to the program says: The husband entered his wife’s room on the wedding night, the night of the consummation, and he did not find her to be a virgin. Should he divorce her or cover for her? And if he covers for her, will he be rewarded?
Answer:
In any case, this matter is up to him. As long as he does not desire her, or he has hesitation regarding her, or he has doubts, then his divorcing her and covering for her is undoubtedly better. Yes.
