If a man discovers that his wife is a hermaphrodite, she is either an ambiguous hermaphrodite (khuntha mushkil), clearly male, or clearly female. The marriage to an ambiguous hermaphrodite or to one who is clearly male is null and void (batil). As for the marriage to one who is clearly female, it is valid. The man should cohabit with her like any other woman, and he has the option to keep her or divorce her.
