depends what you call decency. Some would go so far as to say that a person able to turn completely from a lifestyle, admitting his/her wrongdoings and making themself better goes a long way towards being 'decent.' Note: Luke 7: 36-50, if Jesus can forgive a known prostitute, who the hell are you? Note: Joshua 2: 1, 6: 17-25. If God can use a harlot for His Glory, who the hell are you?
Every one carries their own burden! Because she was a prostitute does not mean she is not human; and trust me, I have a feeling she's already suffering and will likely continue to suffer for it.
Like Olufidu said, it'll be difficult, yes, seeing as you're human, but not impossible. It'll also likely take your family quite a long time, if not forever (or never), to get used to the idea.
Personally, I feel that if she had no diseases or anything, and you're 100% sure she won't turn back (temptation, ), well, you never know how God will do his work in your life. Just, please, before you do marry her, if you do, pray about it; if He wants you to, you'll know. And if you're about to marry a girl that recites native poems, you'll know.
God help you. Very controversial topic.

plz people, do not try to dump the AIDS epidemic on the head of African men. It's really not worth it.

yes, 4 sure!!! women have RIGHTS,but not to choose whether or not to have SEX with their spouse, they should, when is necessary.
but this "AYANGBA" should not be a duty in the society.
REMEMBER: AIDS IS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!

One man's Queen is another man's LovePeddler.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

And know that he will be held accountable on the judgement day for the person he could not forgive
and looked down on.

Ha ha ha , Definitely not 4 me. Statistics has shown that there is no such thing as repented prostitute. The Ex patronisers are still there. conciously or unconciously, she 'll have a way of getting back to them especially at the slightes hick up with his man. Remember we are talking about a nimpho here

Many Ladies indulge in prostitution for different reasons. While some are forced into it by some circumstances beyond their control, some indulge in it for their greed to acquire material and financial wealth.

Those in former category deserve to be forgiven(because they can genuinely repent), the later catergory should never be forgiven, because they must go back to their ways if you cannot meet their needs.

It is very absurd to marry a prostitute in terms of repentance or any other things precise :
.

The truth is 'MANY HAVE' and 'MANY WILL' without knowing.

Believe me when i say; SINS GETS FORGIVEN BUT THEY SOMETIMES LEAVE SCARS. 

And what you do when faced with financial difficulties just shows the kind of person you are.

men is a very mistake for somebody to say he will not marry an old prostitute,remember 90% of the ladies out are even worsthan the prostitute so may be god wants to show her good way thats why he even give her her sence back.take care

it all depends. Where is she "coming from" and where "shes at". Lets say she was a prostitute when she was btw 18-25 and now shes about 29-30 going to school and "grown up" and working towards a goal. At least it better that you know " A known devil is much better than an unseen angel". Also if she was a prostitute in a different part of the world/country you can always start somewhere else and move on as long as you are both on the "same page"

Some of these "regular girls" yo end up finding about their roster your mouth go drop. You say at least she should have been smart enough to get paid well for it rather than just for a donut/meat pie at Mr Biggs or a recharge card

If you look at Vegas, prostitution is legal and disease rate is low cos people get tested and protect themselves cos everyone is "in the know". The worst thing is meeting a girl in say church/revival/mosque and assuming that she's up and up . Thats how disease get spread.

Its also a bit unfair, if its a guy hes a playboy but a girl is a LovePeddler. Just dont tell your family about her. It will be impossible to marry a girl who "honed her craft" in the same town that you ive in cos of people talk and your family will be all over you.

If an ex-prostitute will treat you right, cook, clean, place you on a pedestel and the other girl will hardly say hello to you in the morning which would you choose?

Remember the saying "No matter how fine a lady looks, there's a man somewhere sick and tired of her a$$" So your little "Mrs Sunshine" might as well be someone else's LovePeddler. Sorry to break it to you

Everything is case by case basis. Before you rfun out there and say "hell no" you never know.

Lastly, an ex-prostitute might actually be grateful that you were able to accept her past deed, hence your opportunity to live like a real king

Well, the answer to this question depends on one's perception. There are no rules to what u can accept. I for one would probably spend the rest of my life wondering how on earth she could develop the intimate feelings meant solely to be expressed between married couples during sex. Even if she does express it sincerely, i would be tempted to think she's only trying to make me happy.
Having relationships and the sex that 'may' go with them while not married is completely different from setting up a 'business concern' for yourself as a prostitute! Going the whole length means u are capable of anything (repented or otherwise)!!!

Let us not be carried away by the adventures of the Pretty Woman, it is just a movie. come to think of it , even the mare fact that Radiant might have a boyfriend gives me the jicks and you are asking me to marry like you said a repented prostitute. I know that 95% of our girls are prostitutes either directly or indirectly but what you don't know don't hurt you so your not knowing that your wife is a prostitute will not definitely hurt you but knowing she is? I am a jealous lover and will not marry a prostitute.

Imagine her greeting somebody and me there wondering if the guy is or was one of her clients? Men i will be sick to death and i honestly want to save my self that headache.

@Radiant,

Hope you don't mind my Loving you? At least, I can be your secret lover.

Still me

Oh my days are you for real?

i am so disappointed in some of the posts here,

JustGood:

and you on the other hand are a saint? or you never had your own 'customers'?? double standard, unless of course you are a virgin before getting married? like someone said, you want to sleep with them but not marry them? let the Creator judge


someone else said she is a 'nimpho' wrong spelling and wrong usage combined - a 'prostitute' is not the same as a 'nympho' get a dictionary and sort your English out!

Lets get it straight, there are as many 'man-whores' out there as female 'prostitutes', if not more, so the fact that someone recognises the error of his/her ways and decides to change is one of the greatest measures of decency/maturity i know. We all have our personal preferences of course, but please be fair and don't hold people to a higher standard than you hold yourself to.

I can't marry a former prostitute because there can never be a trust in the relationship, She might be addicted to prostitution, even though she may have repeat she can be hungry for more sex, because of her predicament, sex might be one of her hobbies and if she thinks I can't satisfy her frequent hunger and intend to do it outside, and that will affect my reputation and my family

To all you guys who are ready to trash a woman because of a former lifestyle please think again.
I went to college in Nigeria and in the evenings,especially on weekends our hostel parking lot was swarming with men picking up and dropping off  girls
and believe me they were not going for choir practice.

Many of these girls got lots of financial paybacks for their services from these men and we saw their spoils of war like electronics,refrigerators,clothing,some even got cars

Now they didn't' regard themselves as prostitutes even though they did everything prostitutes did,the only difference was that they were students also so maybe not "professional" callgirls.
There was also a well known  underground escort service at the hostel.

To the poster,if you see genuine repentance in this girl and you love her and believe her,you don't even need to tell her past history to your family.
It's none of their business.
True love is hard to find and if you see a girl that meets all your criteria,please don't let her past life be the deciding factor.
If she is forgiven by Christ,she is not what she used to be.

Hello,
This is a tough one,
if she is truely a repented prostitute i might consider.

everybody like decency,to marry a repented prostitute
men is eaier said than done,is not easy at to marry a pros
mi brodas mank una think am well,
piss out.

People, people, please, there is a spell check at the bottom. If you can't find it, at least read through your post and see if it actually makes sense!!!
It gets irritating when you read through a post and have to re-read it, and re-read it, and still can't make sense out of it. Speak like you write, not backwards.
You know who you are!!! [clears throat]

@ rojen
Nice post, and I agree.
If you know you can't marry a prostitute, why are you courting one?
And what kind of circle do you move in that you would meet a prostitute? And don't tell me you don't always know who's a prostitute. If you can't tell, then when you find out, tell her to become an actress.
