161. hadíth

وَ سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ إِلَى قَوْمٍ اِمْرَأَةً فَوَجَدَهَا عَوْرَاءَ وَ لَمْ يُبَيِّنُوا أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّهَا قَالَ "لاَ يَرُدَّهَا إِنَّمَا يُرَدُّ اَلنِّكَاحُ مِنَ اَلْجُنُونِ وَ اَلْجُذَامِ وَ اَلْبَرَصِ" قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ "لَهَا اَلْمَهْرُ بِمَا اِسْتَحَلَّ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا وَ يَغْرَمُ وَلِيُّهَا اَلَّذِي أَنْكَحَهَا مِثْلَ مَا سَاقَهُ".

Muhammad ibn Muslim asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) about a man who married a woman from a family and later found her to be one-eyed, but they had not disclosed this to him. Does he have the right to return her? Imam (a.s) said: "He cannot return her. Marriage can only be annulled for reasons of insanity, leprosy, and vitiligo." I said: What if he has already consummated the marriage with her? What should he do then? He (a.s) said: "She is entitled to her dowry for what has been made lawful to him from her private parts. However her guardian, who married her off, must compensate him with an amount equal to what he paid as dowry."
