Will marriage be valid if someone gives false information?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Jamia Binoria

Will marriage be valid if someone gives false information about himself (i.e. about his age, employment etc.)?

الجواب حامدا و مصلیا

False information about one’s age will not have any effect on marriage. But with regards to employment, if one had given false information at the time of marriage to make himself seem compatible, and after marriage it became apparent that he is in reality incompatible, then the girl and her guardians can terminate the marriage as soon as they come to know of his incompatibility, but not afterwards.
