Fatwaa.net - Fatawa | I have a relative who has orphaned granddaughters. Their father has a very, very, very bad relationship with his family, and they are the ones raising the girls. He has no involvement in their upbringing. The granddaughters are of marriageable age. Is it necessary to inform the suitor about the problems, knowing that the father speaks ill of his family, which does not involve him, and the girls have no connection to the problems, neither closely nor remotely? Is it obligatory to inform the suitor about the issues, or is it better to remain silent?

Informing the Suitor About Marital Problems

Question

I have a relative who has orphaned granddaughters. Their father has a very, very, very bad relationship with his family, and they are the ones raising the girls. He has no involvement in their upbringing. The granddaughters are of marriageable age. Is it necessary to inform the suitor about the problems, knowing that the father speaks ill of his family, which does not involve him, and the girls have no connection to the problems, neither closely nor remotely? Is it obligatory to inform the suitor about the issues, or is it better to remain silent?

Answer

I say, and with God's help: It is better not to inform the suitor about any of these problems; because homes are filled with similar issues, and such details should not be disclosed to the suitor; as they may harm the girls, and there is no need for it, and God knows best.
