Why not include early marital history in his biography section?
The only woman the article confesses Castro had engaged with sexually were two after his first wife died, giving Castro the impression of a moral leader, who never cheated on his wife. However, during his "marital history" section of the article, it seems that he engaged with Maria Laborde who bore him a son, during his first marriage. This fact obviously should ruin his reputation as a moral leader, however, is overlooked by many (as is not included in his biography section) and thus gives him the impression a leader with a moral character. Shouldn't we include this scandal in the biography to limit any potential accusation of bias? Davidninjaking (talk) 18:47, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
