The answer

The symptoms that appear on the

wife are not defects that necessitate the husband's option [of annulment], and her

marriage is valid, with its rulings taking effect. If it is proven that these

symptoms are hereditary and can be passed on to offspring, and the husband sees a

benefit in divorce, then there is no impediment to it.
