Is it obligatory for a man to inform a woman about a slight deformity in his foot resulting from an old car accident before marriage, and what are the consequences if he does not inform her?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is the wife's right for her husband to be of complete creation, because physical well-being is a pleasure for both spouses and helps the wife lower her gaze. For this reason, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded looking at the prospective fiancée. Therefore, if there is a defect (disfigurement) in the man, the woman must be informed of it before marriage, and she has the right to look at him if she requests it.
