If a person is in an unsafe situation and fears causing harm to his wife, such as being unable to fulfill marital duties, then he is not permitted to marry until he informs her of his condition and she consents to it. However, if he does not fear harm, then marriage is recommended for him if he has desire and is safe from falling into prohibitions. The rulings on marriage vary according to a person's condition: for someone who fears fornication, marriage becomes obligatory; for someone who does not fear it, it is recommended; and it may be forbidden, disliked, or permissible depending on the circumstances and intentions.
