The answer

May Allah facilitate your marriage and grant you healing and offspring. We advise you to supplicate frequently. Some jurists hold the view that it is obligatory to disclose defects that prevent sexual intercourse or are repulsive, such as leprosy and vitiligo. Some scholars have gone further, stating that it is obligatory to disclose every defect that frustrates the purpose of marriage, including infertility, because it deprives the wife of her right to have children, which is one of the greatest purposes of marriage. Disclosure is more cautious, absolves one's responsibility, and cuts off causes for dispute.
