A person with an infectious disease must inform the one they intend to marry about the reality of their illness, as concealing it is deceit and harms others. Viral hepatitis is an infectious disease transmitted through contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected person. One of its most important modes of transmission is sexual intercourse. Therefore, you must inform the suitor, even if it leads to his rejection.
