If the marriage contract is revoked due to disease or harmful defect in one of the spouses, the court shall decide the following: 1. If the disease or defect in the wife preceded the contract, and the revocation occurred after intercourse or seclusion, then the wife is entitled to the dowry, and the husband may claim the dowry from the one who deceived him. 2. If the disease or defect occurred in either spouse prior to the contract and the revocation occurred before intercourse or seclusion, the husband shall recover what he paid of the dowry and the remainder shall be dropped even if it was deferred. 3. If the disease or defect in the husband occurred prior to the contract and the revocation occurred after intercourse or seclusion, the wife is entitled to the dowry. 4. If the husband knew of the defect in the wife before the contract, and then he requested revocation due to the same defect before intercourse and lawful seclusion, then she is entitled to half of the specified dowry or half of the usual dowry if it is not specified. 5. If the wife knew of the defect in the husband before the contract, and then requested revocation due to the same defect after intercourse and lawful seclusion, then she is obliged to return half of the named dowry or half of the usual dowry if it is not specified.
