Should I clean up old photos and posts on social media before marrying?

It is good to, especially those that do not cover the aurat, that are affectionate with former partners, or that might hurt your future spouse. This is not about lying about the past, but about covering your own faults and starting a new chapter cleanly. Set aside an afternoon to go through your accounts from the oldest posts. Delete or archive whatever you would not want your children to see later. Check your friends and followers lists too, and set suitable privacy levels. After marriage, discuss with your spouse what you are comfortable sharing about your household, such as photos together or of the children. Guidelines agreed early prevent quarrels about posts later. See the family online.
