What should a married man do who has not yet had children, after discovering that his wife concealed from him the removal of her left ovary and her true age, and she has polycystic ovary syndrome on her right ovary, coupled with a slight decrease in the motility of his sperm, considering that doctors have advised IVF costing 20,000 pounds with a 40% success rate, and his financial situation is modest? Should he divorce her and marry someone else, or marry another woman in addition to her, or proceed with the operation despite his difficult circumstances?

The matters mentioned are not defects that a woman must disclose to a suitor and for which the marriage would be annulled. There is no blame upon a man if he divorces his wife, or marries another, or undergoes an IVF procedure. What is preferable and better is for him to keep his wife and proceed with the IVF procedure.
