According to the diagnosis made by the doctors, one of our relatives has 90% mental disability. He wants to get married, does this mental deficiency create a marriage barrier? I would also like to point out that he is constantly being treated under the supervision of a doctor.

Having any disability does not prevent marriage. If the person to be married is not deceived, that is, knowing the current situation clearly, there is no harm in getting married religiously.
