Question

I am inside very grieved as I was forced for abortion and then for nikaah fasakh as my parents scared me and forced me very much for such heinous acts as my in-laws are too bad people and my parents thought they would kill me. I don't know what to do. How to repent before Allah. Inside I am dying daily.

Answer

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
