Q: I am 29 years old interested in marrying a girl who is divorced, age 28 years, computer professional and having a 2½ year old child. Could you please advise if I will have any problems after marriage related to: a) Sexual relations (pre-occupation with the first husband) b) Reproductive system/fertility (Pregnancy/child birth) c) Psychological factors d) Paternity problem (regarding the child) Finally, should I marry her or not.
A:If you love the girl enough you should go ahead and get married. The problems you mention are all in your mind, and these are not likely to arise. For more detailed information, please see a geneticist or a marriage counsellor.
