Hiding the Husband's Illness from the Wife

Question
What is the ruling on a man who has a contagious sexually transmitted disease without informing his wife?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is forbidden for a patient with a contagious disease to marry someone else until he informs them of that; because it is betrayal and deception, and God knows best.
