Maintaining Chastity and Married Life .

Question:
Question One:

I have sinned and had sex before marriage but around a few months back I repented for it and promised to Allah not to do it again.
I got married recently and on the wedding night my wife tried to fake her virginity by putting some red color on herself which looked like blood. I caught her at the spot but kept quiet as i did not know what to do as I still had the walima wedding function left the next day and could not imagine how much shame my family and myself will have to face. Later I tried to forget about the incident thinking that i had also sinned and promised not to do it again. But even after many efforts i have not been able to get these thoughts out of my mind and i am unable to trust my wife in any matter of life and keep imagining that what sins she might have done.
I tried to search for Islamic point of view on such a situation and is there reference or statement which can help me forgive her and live life normally. What should I do?


Question Two:

Since it is really difficult to find a man with whom one can have mental compatibility, can one have temporary marriage since it gets frustrating and difficult to control carnal desires?

Response:
Answer One:

There is no direct guidance on such issues in Qur'an and hadith. God wants us to take decisions in such situations by using our good judgment. I would strongly suggest that you talk to the lady vaguely about your past and tell her that you have a feeling that you know it about her too. Inform her that you have repented and tell her to do likewise.
You should both make a firm resolve that you'll be loyal to each other from now on. See if she gives a good response. Give her a good chance. Pray istikhara in the meanwhile according to the following description, keeping this particular situation in mind: www.khalidzaheer.com/qa/289
Insha'Allah things will be okay.


Answer Two:

Life is a trial and we have to put up with it despite difficulties and challenges. We do look for ideal situations but we seldom find them in this world. I would suggest you get married to the man with whom your mental incompatibility is the least. If it doesn't work out well, divorce is always an option. However, to intend to go for temporary marriage right at the beginning of a marriage is not an acceptable idea.
May God help you!
