Ruling on Annulment of the Marriage Contract Due to a Defect

Question:
If it becomes apparent after the marriage that one of the spouses has a defect, or a sexual deficiency, what is the compensation for the other spouse in this case?

Answer:
This is if she finds a defect in him, or he finds a defect in her. If they reach an agreement, that is fine; otherwise, the court rules between them. This requires detail. If the woman finds a defect in her husband, such as internal leprosy, or an impediment to intercourse, or something similar, or if he finds a defect in her, such as internal leprosy, or an internal illness that disqualifies her; if they agree between themselves, and each is satisfied with the other, or if he divorces her on his own, or gives her something and divorces her, then praise be to Allah, and the matter is ended. But if the matter leads to dispute and litigation, then it is for the courts.
