Am I sinful if I do not inform the woman I wish to marry about the obsessive-compulsive disorder that afflicts me? And does the prohibition of marriage cease for one who cannot afford a dowry and maintenance, with the wife's consent? And is it permissible for me to marry a girl who is a few months older than me, given that I am educated to the level of the Tawjihi (high school diploma)?
