عدم العلم بالكفاءة
( المادة 21 )
اذا زوج الولي البكر او الثيب برضاها لرجل لا يعلمان كلاهما كفاءته ثم تبين انه غير كفوء فلا
يبقى لاحد منهما حق الاعتراض
اما اذا اشترطت الكفاءة حين العقد او اخبر الزوج انه كفوء ثم تبين انه غير كفوء فلكل من
الزوجة والولي مراجعة القاضي
لفسخ الزواج اما اذا كان كفوءا حين الخصومة فلا يحق لاحد طلب الفسخ.
