Person who has had HPV may marry after informing would-be spouse

Question

Can I get married knowing that i was infected by the hpv? The problem with hpv is that you cannot be 100% sure that the virus is gone even if the symptoms have disappeared.

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

It is permissible for someone who was infected with a transmittable disease to get married, but he must inform the person he wants to marry about it. Please refer to Fatwa 156813.

This is in general. As far as your case is concerned, if you believe that you are most likely cured from this disease, then you are not obligated to inform the girl who you want to propose to. But it would be better for you to inform her to avoid any cause of conflict in the future.

Allaah Knows best.
