Should a girl suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)—including obsessions related to purity and prayer that consume a long time, affect her daily life and psychological state, and for which she takes multiple medications—inform her suitor about the full reality of her condition, and when should she inform him of that?

The suitor must be informed of the severity of the obsessive thoughts the woman suffers from, because it is considered an off-putting defect that prevents the stability of married life. Some scholars have gone as far as to say that any defect that causes the other party to feel aversion necessitates annulment, and some have equated severe obsessive thoughts with madness among the defects that establish the option [for annulment]. It is better that the disclosure be made as soon as the engagement begins.
