Summary
A husband sought annulment because his wife could not bear children and had concealed her age, with return of the dowry and compensation. The court dismissed the claim because they had settled after he learned of the defect, and the Court of Appeal upheld it.
Principle
A spouse who learns of a defect and then accepts it, expressly or by conduct, loses the right to seek annulment.
