Should the fiancée continue her relationship with someone who stipulates that he will marry another woman if she does not conceive within two or three years of marriage, knowing that she has undergone an operation to remove one ovary, and that the doctor has assured her that the other ovary is healthy and she can conceive?

If the suitor is a man of religion and good character, he should not be left. His condition of marrying a second wife in the event of not having children is permissible, because it is his right even if he does not stipulate it. A woman should not be selfish in this matter. If the surgery might prevent conception, it is his right to marry someone who can conceive. It is a matter of loyalty that he does not abandon her, but rather joins with her someone who can bear children. However, if he is not committed, it is better to leave him and seek someone else who is religious and of good character.
