Are the statements you mentioned—"If I had known that the procedure I underwent affects procreation, I should have informed you, otherwise the marriage would be void," and "Spouses are supposed to be frank with each other before marriage about everything that affects their lives, and if the husband or wife has a disease or anything of that sort, they must inform each other"—considered a suspended divorce, and what is the legal ruling upon my subsequent discovery that my wife concealed the problem of polycystic ovaries, knowing that my intention was to emphasize the absence of deception or to clarify the legal ruling for concealing such matters?
Inability to conceive is not among the defects that necessitate the option (of annulment) or the dissolution of the marriage contract. Neither spouse is obligated to disclose it before the contract, though it is recommended. What you uttered was intended to emphasize the absence of deception towards the wife, and it is not a conditional divorce. It is advisable to avoid excessive worrying (waswasa). The criterion for what must be disclosed between spouses is every defect that causes aversion in the other party and prevents the fulfillment of the marriage's purpose.
