Chapter on Cases in Which Marriage is Invalidated
وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَزَوَّجُ إِلَى قَوْمٍ فَإِذَا اِمْرَأَتُهُ عَوْرَاءُ وَ لَمْ يُبَيِّنُوا لَهُ قَالَ "لاَ تُرَدُّ إِنَّمَا يُرَدُّ اَلنِّكَاحُ مِنَ اَلْبَرَصِ وَ اَلْجُذَامِ وَ اَلْجُنُونِ وَ اَلْعَفَلِ" قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ دَخَلَ بِهَا كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ بِمَهْرِهَا قَالَ "اَلْمَهْرُ لَهَا بِمَا اِسْتَحَلَّ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا وَ يَغْرَمُ وَلِيُّهَا اَلَّذِي أَنْكَحَهَا مِثْلَ مَا سَاقَ إِلَيْهَا".
Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said regarding a man who marries into a family and finds that his wife is one-eyed, and they did not disclose this to him: "She cannot be returned. Only marriage can be annulled due to vitiligo, leprosy, insanity, or defects of the genitalia (impairing intimacy)." I asked: "What if he has already consummated the marriage? What happens to her dowry?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "The dowry is hers because he has made lawful what was private to her. Her guardian who arranged the marriage must compensate him with an amount equal to what he gave as dowry."
