Is marriage permissible for a man or woman who has reproductive problems, that is, the doctors say they cannot have children? Is it a sin?

There is no problem for a man or woman to have their condition analyzed in terms of child birth before marriage. Especially people who have certain diseases and who are warned by doctors about this should have this done. Marriage is not just for having children.There is no harm in getting married to someone who is likely to have no children or who is presumed to be disabled if they do. However, it is esssential that the person who is a marriage candidate is informed about this issue. If not, the spouse has the right to object to the marriage. In addition, it is wrong to act on such matters by speculating on gossip and suspicion. Even medically definitive reports can be wrong. Whatever the most credible situation in terms of trust is achieved, it should be followed.
