Is it obligatory to inform the suitor about the right oophorectomy that was performed seven years ago, knowing that there is a medical proof of the ability to conceive with the other ovary?
If the removal of an ovary does not affect procreation because the other ovary is present, then there is no need to inform the suitor about it. This is because the defect that necessitates disclosure is one that obstructs the purpose of marriage, such as enjoyment, service, and procreation. Nevertheless, it is preferable to inform the suitor to avoid future problems. Sheikh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen mentioned that a defect is anything that obstructs the purpose of marriage, not its perfection, and this includes infertility, blindness, deafness, or muteness.
