A divorcee with children. 4. A divorcee without children. Jazakalaah
Answer
You may get married to whomsoever you wish as you have the ability to fulfil her marital rights. However it would be better to inform a potential spouse in advance, that according to the medical experts you would not be able to father children, even though Allah could give you children inspite of this condition.
