It seems you don't really know someone until you spend a lot of time with them.

Hi now days it is very difficult to meet with this kind of accident. courtesy: the dating procedures, follow-up by either parties. in spite of this, if the accident happens, it depends on how you would like to handle the situation. either in a humane aspect or with a legal angle.
gone are the days where the couple are forced to continue to live with this arrangement and it is not easy as depicted in fairy tales movies where one spouse accepts and reform the other mentally challenged spouse. be it selfish needs or the feeling of being cheated.
these days the law has come to the rescue and the marriage can be annulled (the question of divorce never arises) provided it can be proved that the other partner is mentally challenged. it has been scientifically proved that a mentally challenged person cannot lead / support a married / family life.

If you didn't know about the health issues then it can't be that noticable. It depends on how you both feel. What is your definition of "mentally challenged"? this is a wide range of things. I have ADD, which could be a challenge but it doesn't effect who I am, and my husband still loves me!! If you are religious you could think about it in prayer and maybe ask to talk to the person that married you, in most pre-ceremony talks with the pastor they have you do a marriage class...this would have come up in there. I wish you the best of luck. Maybe this is a blessing..."life is a box of chocolates, you never know what is inside!"

'Accidentally' marry ~ I am still stuck on how you accidentally marry someone. You must have really loved the person to marry this person. If you love the person, then being mentally challenged souldn't be an issue. Getting married is a big step in your life and if you love someone, you accept them for who they are, and not change them, that's what made you love them to begin with.

first of all love is love. mentally challenged or not. you shouldn't be married if you are not in love mental health issues aside. if you really loved this person you would be asking how to help them or asking about symptoms.
you can't accidentally get married, it is a conscience decision not something just happens.
if this is a joke you should really think about how your actions affect others. people have family members and friends that are mentally challenged.

How could this happen? Do you mean someone you feel is mentally challenged? I would say if you can't live with it get out and don't make the 2 of you miserable.

Well um... if they are truely mentally challenged I guess you could argue that the contract is not valid.
If you are just annoyed with them and think they have issues, then you move on and learn from your mistakes. OR get counseling and try to make it work.

She's obviously not TOO challenged if she hid it from you long enough to marry you. Either that, or you're the more challenged of the two...

Well if you married them - they must have seen some value in them - Mentally Challenged... disabled.... what is the difference
do they love you? do you love them? have they made a difference in your life?
it is okay to love them anyway!

You pretend to be mentally challenged and she will ask the same question

If you "accidentally" marry someone who is mentally challenged, I have to question who is really mentally challenged.
