What should we do now that the suitor has shown signs of uncontrolled anger and refused to sign the قائمة المنقولات [list of items to be included in the bridal home] after an agreement was reached, which has worried the family and made the father wish the marriage contract had not been concluded?
If the marriage contract has been concluded, it is not permissible to retract it, even if the husband's bad character becomes apparent. The wife must be handed over once he has paid her mahr, unless the husband agrees to divorce her in exchange for the return of what he paid. One should have a good opinion of a Muslim and not judge him based on a single slip. As for the list of movables, a ruling on it requires details regarding who paid for them and what the prevailing custom is concerning the husband's signature on it. It is recommended to facilitate the matter of marriage and not to let money be an obstacle, for the best of women are those who are least burdensome.
