Is it permissible to marry a religious young man who was previously married and is infertile?
Among the great objectives of marriage is seeking progeny. The majority of scholars are of the view that infertility is not a defect that necessitates the option to annul the marriage, because it is not definitively established, as one may be blessed with a child from one wife but not another. The questioner is advised to marry a religious man after performing Istikhara, making supplication, and taking all necessary measures to seek treatment.
