Yes. (I did, in fact, marry such a girl.)

The events in and of themselves, no. Her attitudes and opinions towards them would be the thing to look at. One time mistake? Pattern of behavior? Indication of character flaw? Context means a lot here.

Or would you forgive her for it (if she repented & was now active in the church and living the gospel).
Whether she's active or not, forgiveness isn't conditional. It needs to happen either way. But you can forgive someone and still not marry them or continue a relationship with them.

Ohhh....
