This is a very dangerous issue brothers and sisters. The sister definitelly needs to repent sincirelly. Because Allah s.v.a mentions in the quran that he will not forgive shirk (making partners with Allah)but will forgive anything less than that.
Allah (swt) says: Verily, Allâh forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allâh in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin. (EMQ Soorah An-Nisa’, 4: 48)
We should leave this for knowledgable people to solve. I encourage the sister to go and ask a knowledgable/trustable person such as an imam (who is following quran and sunnah) or a scholar on sites such as islamqa. That is why Allah s.v.a doesnt say in the quran "don't do zinna" but says walla taqraboo zinna and dont get near/approach zinna.
Surah 17 : Verse 32 : Nor come nigh to adultery : for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils)
So anything that might light to zinna should be stopped and prevented such as having a boyfriend at first, hugging, kissing, touching, and especially being alone with opposite sex. We know from the authentic hadeeth of prophet s..v.s that says, whenever two people of opposite sex are alone, the shaytan is third. Allah s.v.a set all these guidlines for us, for our good. However, if something evil happens to us, it is because of our hands.
The Prophet said, "The one who commits an illegal sexual intercourse is not a believer at the time of committing illegal sexual intercourse and a thief is not a believer at the time of committing theft and a drinker of alcoholic drink is not a believer at the time of drinking. Yet, (the gate of) repentance is open thereafter." (Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.801 Narrated by Abu Huraira)
SURAH 24 VERSE 2 : The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication –flog each of them with a hundred stripes : let not compassion move you in their case , in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day.
Furthermore , if the girl becomes pregnant as a consequence of this pre-marital or extra-marital act , then the child is not considered a legal heir according to the following Hadith:
The Prophet (SAW) said, "If a man commits fornication with a free woman or a slave woman the child is the product of fornication, and neither does he inherit nor may anyone inherit from him." (Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3054 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As)
SURAH 24 VERSE 3 : Let no man guilty of adultery or fornication marry any but a woman similarly guilty, or an unbeliever : nor let any but such a man or an unbeliever marry such a woman : to the believers such a thing is forbidden.
SURAH 5 VERSE 5 : (Lawful unto you in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers , but chaste women amoung the People of the Book, revealed before your time,- when you give them their due dowers , and desire chastity , not lewdness, nor secret intrigues. “
The Prophet(SAW) said "From among the portents of the Hour is that ……..(open) illegal sexual intercourse will prevail, and men will decrease in number while women will increase . Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.800A Narrated by Anas
Just remember Allah forgives whom he wants, and punishes whoom he wants. Remember the story of the Adultress who was among benu israeel (of the children of israel) amon the jews, and she was forgiven all her sins and paradise given just because she gave water (H20
) to a thirsty dog. InnAllahe gaffooorurraheem.
Wallahu alem (Allah knows best)
