The question

Are the aforementioned ill-treatment by the wife and the failure to consummate the marriage due to the husband's weakness and the wife's sorcery considered sufficient grounds for divorce? Does she have the right to the full dower stipulated in the contract "after cohabitation but before consummation"? And must the husband inform anyone who proposes to her about his previous illness and his previous marriage after his recovery?

The answer

Divorce is permissible when there is a need for it, such as the wife's ill-manners. The wife's actions mentioned are strange, and if she is conscious of them, then she is disobedient (nashiz) and ill-mannered. A wife who has been entered upon (consummated the marriage) is entitled to the full mahr (dowry), and a valid seclusion ( sahiha) is considered as consummation. The fiancée must be informed of a previous illness, but there is no obligation to inform her of a previous marriage unless concealing it would lead to conflict.
