14. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from abu ‘ Ubaydah who has said the following
“About the case of a man who marries a woman by the approval of her guardian and finds a defect in her after going to bed with her, abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘If the defect is al-‘Afal, al-Bars (albino), insanity, or ‘Ifda’ (an injury that cuts into her feces and urine passages), one who has an apparent defect and illness, such defective people’s marriage is revoked and they are returned to their families without divorce. The husband demands for mahr (dower) from her guardian who has cheated about her, and if her guardian did not know about it then there is nothing on him (the guardian) and she is returned to her family.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If the husband receives back what he had given, it belongs to him but if he did not get back anything then there is nothing for him.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘She must complete a waiting period which is for divorce if he has gone to bed with her but if he has not gone to bed with her then she does not need to complete a waiting period.’”
14- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
فِي رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ وَلِيِّهَا فَوَجَدَ بِهَا عَيْباً بَعْدَ مَا دَخَلَ بِهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ إِذَا دُلِّسَتِ الْعَفْلاءُ وَالْبَرْصَاءُ وَالْمَجْنُونَةُ وَالْمُفْضَاةُ وَمَنْ كَانَ بِهَا زَمَانَةٌ ظَاهِرَةٌ فَإِنَّهَا تُرَدُّ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ طَلاقٍ وَيَأْخُذُ الزَّوْجُ الْمَهْرَ مِنْ وَلِيِّهَا الَّذِي كَانَ دَلَّسَهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ وَلِيُّهَا عَلِمَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلا شَيْ‏ءَ عَلَيْهِ وَتُرَدُّ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا قَالَ وَإِنْ أَصَابَ الزَّوْجُ شَيْئاً مِمَّا أَخَذَتْ مِنْهُ فَهُوَ لَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْ شَيْئاً فَلا شَيْ‏ءَ لَهُ قَالَ وَتَعْتَدُّ مِنْهُ عِدَّةَ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ إِنْ كَانَ دَخَلَ بِهَا وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَلا عِدَّةَ لَهَا وَلا مَهْرَ لَهَا.
