Question

I love a girl and I talked to her parents. Next year we will be married insha Allah! Problem is that I have celiac disease, and in celiac disease people develop many other complications and I am getting some. I am just 27 or 28 yrs old. Is it a sin if I marry that girl or should I remain unmarried? I'll leave pain and suffering in someones life. I am really sad. I think I have lost all the haqq to be with someone.

Answer

If she knows and is comfortable with this condition of yours then it is permissible to marry.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
