Will a woman be able to get married if pregnant?

Question: Will a woman be able to get married if pregnant?

Answer: If she is pregnant from another marriage, even if it was a corrupt marriage contract, or another means by which Islamic law establishes relation (descendency) to the father, then she must wait until after childbirth. If she is pregnant from blatant adultery/fornication, then she may marry, but she may not engage in flirting or any sexual activity until the child has been delivered - unless she married the father.
 
...and Allah knows best.
