She can start her PHD programme while she plans to settle down. I just advised but she should not be choased by anybody neither be under duress in order to satisfer people. Allow her to think, that at her age considering her present status and her anticipated attainment (including when to achieve her dream), will it make or mar her home when ready to settle down. Above all, has she discovered her God's giving purpose?

well, there are mistakes that repentance can not restore. But i know God is good.There is no need of rebuking you again and again, you have learnt your lesson and many people have said a lot. all i will tell you is to confess unto God as did to men, asking for mercies and forgiveness. be determined not to return into it. though God can still restore your virginity back if you will totally give yourself to God. Do not bother yourself, God cares for you the more 1Pet.5:7. Jesus loves you and He died that you may live. so He is actually waiting for you to come despite sins and wrinkle. Just give your life to Jesus Christ and accept Him as your Saviour and Lord. Thereafter, continue to fellowship with Him and becoming like Him in all ways. you will see Him turning your ashes to beauty and make your life great testimony
