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 , making supplication, and taking all necessary measures to seek treatment.
