Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman says that her husband is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, which is a condition of old age. Does she have the right to demand the annulment of the marriage contract?

Answer:
This is referred to the judge if this results in harm to her. If she is harmed by remaining with him, she demands the removal of the harm, even if it is through annulment. However, if she is not harmed, she should be patient. Yes.
