Is it obligatory for the suitor to postpone marriage due to embarrassment from informing the fiancée of his suffering from testicular varicocele and prostatic congestion, and his fear of the impact of that on marital life?
Scholars have differed regarding the defects in marriage that must be disclosed. The more authoritative opinion is that any defect which negates the purpose of marriage, such as affection, mercy, intimacy, and procreation, or that is repulsive, is considered a defect that must be disclosed. Accordingly, testicular varicocele, which may affect fertility or cause erectile dysfunction, is considered a defect that must be disclosed before marriage, unless the condition has been remedied.
