Question
Due to a relationship with a prostitute, my son contracted a disease. Marriage with another girl was proposed for him. The girl and her parents were not informed of the disease. After the marriage, the girl has contracted the disease. I am consumed with guilt and remorse for not having informed her or her parents before the marriage. What should I now do?
Answer
Your crime of having concealed the terrible disease is a vile act of zulm. You have ruined the life of the girl. Repent sincerely. Inform the girl now that your son has the disease. If she wants Talaaq, then it will be waajib for your son to issue Talaaq. If he refuses, she should apply to the local Ulama council for annulment.
