Is it obligatory to inform a suitor about the presence of ovarian cysts that cause irregular menstrual cycles before marriage?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common gynecological condition affecting 5-10% of women. It can cause delayed pregnancy or recurrent miscarriage, menstrual irregularities, weight gain, high blood pressure, and hirsutism (excessive coarse hair growth). If this condition exists before the engagement, the suitor must be informed because it affects the purpose of marriage, which is pleasure and affection, and may cause aversion. Any defect that causes the other spouse to feel aversion and prevents the fulfillment of the purpose of marriage necessitates the option to dissolve the contract. If the problem is significant and not transient, her guardian is obligated to inform the suitor.
