The answer

It is permissible to marry relatives or non-relatives. However, marrying non-relatives is preferred if it is scientifically proven to reduce infection, unless this conflicts with a predominant interest. The other party must be informed of the existence of vitiligo (leprosy) because it necessitates the option [of annulment].
