Being open and honest is a crucial aspect when dealing with a future spouse. What must a person share with their future spouse about their past? What if it was a sin that the person committed in the past?

When it comes to past sins that are no longer committed, there are certain sins that will affect the marriage, such as committing zina, or sins that come with consequences, that must be talked about. Other than that, you do not need to tell the person about sins that will not have an effect on the marriage, and one should not be asked about it.
