What is the ruling on the marriage of a divorced woman who was not entered upon, and who concealed her previous marriage from the groom's family, and whose guardian and the groom answered in the negative when the Imam inquired on the day of the marriage contract?

There is no objection to the suitor, his fiancée, and her guardian agreeing to conceal her previous marriage from others. It is preferable, when asked about her previous marriage, to use allusions (ma'areed), such as the answerer saying: "She is a virgin" or "She has not been married before," intending thereby that consummation did not occur, in order to avoid lying.
