Should one disclose parental mistreatment, bad character, and lying before engagement?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A person must repent from lying and bad manners, especially towards parents. He is not obligated to inform the woman he proposes to about this; rather, he should conceal his past and strive in repentance. However, when consulted for advice, one must truthfully mention shortcomings and flaws, and allude to them if that is sufficient.
