The answer

If safety from the aforementioned defects was not stipulated at the time of the contract, then these defects do not give the husband the option [to annul the marriage]. He must pay her deferred dower and the expenses of her ' (waiting period), and he has no right to reclaim anything from the prompt dower or what he spent on the marriage. As for her lying, it is a sin and an act of disobedience.
