Are small breasts and graying hair considered defects that must be disclosed to the suitor to avoid deception?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The preponderant opinion is that any defect that alienates one of the spouses, or causes harm to them, or defeats the purpose of marriage, must be disclosed. This is governed by three matters: that the illness affects marital life, or alienates the spouse by its appearance or smell, and that it is real and permanent. Therefore, if small breasts or excessive gray hair are considered a defect or an alienating factor by the beholder, then their disclosure to the suitor is obligatory.
