Communicating with a Foreigner for the Purpose of Marriage

Question
What is the ruling on a woman talking secretly with a man for the purpose of marriage, and then the marriage does not take place? Is she considered an adulteress?
Answer

I say, and with God's guidance: A woman should avoid this, and she incurs sin in such relationships. She should repent from that, and she is not considered an adulteress unless it leads to adultery. And God knows best.
