1. If one of the spouses finds in the other a disease or a serious defect that is among repulsive or harmful defects, such as lunacy, leprosy, or elephantiasis, or that prevents sexual pleasure, such as impotence, horns, and the like, he/she may request revocation of marriage, whether that disease existed before the contract or occurred afterward. 2. The right to revocation extinguishes if he/she knew about the disease or defect before the contract or accepted it afterward explicitly or implicitly, provided that the wife’s right to request revocation due to disease or defect preventing sexual pleasure shall not be extinguished in all circumstances. 3. If the disease or harmful defect cannot be cured, the court revokes the marriage contract without any need for a grace period. However, if their removal is possible, the court shall postpone the case for an appropriate period not exceeding one year. If the defect or disease does not disappear during that period and the person seeking revocation insists, the court will revoke the marriage contract. 4. The court may seek the assistance of experts in identifying the disease or defect, assessing it, and the possibility of treating it.
