Each spouse must inform the other of any defect they possess before marriage, especially if the defect is repulsive or prevents enjoyment, because concealing such a thing is deception. Leprosy is one of the defects that grant the wife the option (to annul the marriage) if she was not aware of it before marriage. Therefore, a man afflicted with leprosy must inform the woman he intends to marry, or her guardian, of his illness. It is forbidden for him to conceal this. In this case, the woman has the option to either proceed with the marriage or annul it.
