Does marriage constitute deception and necessitate alimony for a wife who concealed her illness, her age, her suicide attempt, and her psychological treatment, and the husband divorced her after problems, insults, and expulsion from the home, knowing that the marriage was a misyar marriage?
Diabetes and mental illness, if they have not reached the stage of insanity, do not necessitate disclosure. Lying about one's age does not affect the validity of the marriage contract, but it is a deception. A woman raising her voice at her husband and showing arrogance towards him is considered nushuz (disobedience), which forfeits her right to maintenance unless she is pregnant. If you utter a divorce oath to her with the intention of divorce, the divorce takes place. A misyar marriage is valid if it fulfills its conditions, and the wife's waiver of some of her rights does not invalidate it.
