The answer

Defects that do not prevent intercourse, do not pose a risk of infection, do not cause repulsion in either spouse, and do not impede the purpose of marriage, which is love and mercy, do not require the wife to disclose them. Their existence does not grant the husband the option to annul the marriage. It is advised to uphold the engagement with the girl if she is satisfactory in terms of religiosity, character, and outward appearance, out of dutifulness to parents and to maintain ties of kinship. The matter might be natural, such as the presence of a large, uncircumcised clitoris, which is not a defect. It is recommended to consult specialists among doctors.
