The question

How do I begin to marry at the age of twenty with the intention of chastity and companionship, and is it advisable? Should the wife be informed of the obsessive-compulsive disorder that you suffer from, which causes you bad thoughts about religion and creed? What are the wife's rights over the husband and vice versa? And should intercourse be avoided if you are not ready for procreation at the beginning of the marriage?

The answer

If you are able to marry and need it to protect your chastity, then hasten to do so and seek a righteous woman. Treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) with specialists. If you do not recover, and the OCD is severe, then it is obligatory to disclose it. The husband does not have the right to prevent his wife from conceiving, nor to completely abstain from intercourse with her, nor is it permissible for him to practice coitus interruptus with her without her consent. However, if the spouses agree to postpone conception for a valid reason, then it is permissible. The husband must protect his wife's chastity to the best of his ability and according to her need.
