What is the ruling on marrying a woman whose guardian requested an apartment for the marriage, and the suitor and the fiancée agreed to inform her family that he owned an apartment when in fact he did not, and then the matter was uncovered after the marriage contract; and is it permissible for the wife to request a separation or insist on the apartment?
What the brother did by lying and deceiving is forbidden, and he must repent from it. If the guardian of the girl stipulated the apartment in the contract, the husband is obligated to fulfill it, and the wife and her guardian have the right to annul the marriage. If this was not stipulated, they do not have the right to annul, but the husband is obligated to provide independent housing, and the wife can refer the matter to the judge if he does not do so. It is advisable to reconcile with the girl and her guardian regarding delaying the request for the apartment, and that the relationship with the girl before the contract is forbidden.
