Good question.
Probably not. Michael told Kay he was distanced from his family, as in "That's my family, Kay--it's not me." That was enough for her. I doubt she'd have married him, after Sicily, if he admitted he'd killed Mac and Sol. He had always denied it.
I was always struck by a cultural difference between Sicily and the US. When Michael meets Sr. Vitelli, he says he's "an American hiding from the police of mycountry." Vitelli accepts that without blinking because in Sicily at that time, the authorities were regarded as foes. If Michael were wooing an American girl and said that to her father, he'd probably turn Michael in to the cops.

In the novel, this event is fleshed out in some detail. Kay meets with Mama C, who all but tells her Michael killed S & M. She goes away in shock. This is from memory, as I have misplaced my hardcopy. But I'm confident in its accuracy.

. If Michael were wooing an American girl and said that to her father, he'd probably turn Michael in to the cops. In the novel, Kay's father pretty much says that, tells the defectives he'll call them if Michael shows up there.
"All of these men were good listeners; patient men."

Would Kay marry him if she'd known he personally murdered Tough one However Kay knew that the Corleones have men killed ie: order men to be killed but Kay still married Michael oh, well if Michael had personally murdered but nobody was hurt...!
