In summary: Some scholars believe that the defects that must be disclosed are specific. However, the correct view is that they are not specific but rather fall under a general principle: any defect that causes the other party to be averse, or that disrupts the purposes of marriage, must be disclosed. The defects mentioned in the question are not among those that require disclosure, as they are common matters and do not lead to aversion or disruption of the purposes of marriage.
