How can the suitor be informed about poor eyesight and frizzy hair, knowing that he will see her with contact lenses and styled hair, and could this affect his displeasure if he looks at her?

It is not obligatory to inform the suitor about poor eyesight or wrinkled hair, especially since these issues can be remedied. Informing about defects is only obligatory for defects that prevent intercourse, or are repulsive, or contagious. As for hidden defects that are not repulsive and can be treated, it is not obligatory to inform about them. Beauty is relative, and what may be seen as a defect by some may not be seen as such by the husband.
