Ruling 2402 — Marriage

If a woman or a man is described to the other as being better than she/he really is so that the other desires to marry her/him – irrespective of whether this happens at the time of the marriage contract or before it – then in case the marriage contract is concluded on that basis and this matter was realised by the other party after the contract, she/he can annul the marriage contract. The detailed laws (aḥkām) of this ruling (masʾalah) are explained in Minhāj al‑Ṣāliḥīn.[2]
