Should I be truthful about my past to a prospective noble man who insists on honesty, even if it may lead to him rejecting me, or should I lie and marry him?

Husband . Wife . Lie . Qur'anic Verse . Surat al-Nur

What is the reason for the variation in wording between the curse of Allah upon the lying husband and the anger of Allah towards the lying wife, as mentioned in Surat al Nur?

The curse of Allah on the lying husband because he is putting a false allegation on his innocent wife but when the wife takes oath denying a crime knowing that she did commit then she will be entitled to the anger of Allah SWT. As she knows that she did commit the major sin of fornication and Allah is seeing everything yet she takes oath with the name of Allah denying what Allah has seen she will be then challenging and opposing Allah SWT and she will deserve anger of Allah.Wassalam

Lie . Wife . Sin . Repentance (Tawbah)

Is it permissible to lie to my wife, when she asks about my past sins that I have repented for, in order to prevent her from getting hurt?

Bismihi ta'ala

It is wrong for your wife to pry into your past sins, and if it has nothing to do with your current life or has no involvement with your marriage, it is haram for you to disclose it to others. We are not allowed to expose our previous sins to others, or confess to anyone about the past, especially if we have repented.

She should refrain from asking you about it, and you do not need to lie. You just refuse to give any information about it.

With prayers for your success
