Q: I am doing the aalimah course and have been told in mishkat lesson by the ustadh that when one gets married and between the husband and wife in their past they have been invovled in zina etc that if the husband was in this situation he should mention it to his wife and if this question of zina was asked from the wife to the husband he is allowed that he lies to her but what is the wife supposed to do when the husband has told her of his past of zina?

A: This is not necessary. Once you have made taubah you do not have to mention it to anybody, whether to your husband or any other person.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
