If the man described with this condition wishes to marry, he is not permitted to do so until he informs the woman of his defect. If she accepts, then he is permitted to marry her. If he does not inform her, he is considered a deceiver, and the woman has the choice to either remain with him or annul the marriage. The man is advised to fast to mitigate his condition and to stay away from provocations.
