What are the financial rights of a wife who is ill-mannered, seeks divorce, and abandons the marital home, despite the husband's attempts at reconciliation for the sake of their children, and her family's testimony to her bad manners and disobedience?

If the wife is disobedient (nashiz) due to leaving the house without her husband's permission and seeking divorce without a valid reason, the husband is permitted to pressure her (عَضْل) so that she may ransom herself with money in exchange for her divorce. However, if he divorces her without the condition of her forfeiting any of her rights, then she is entitled to her full mahr (dowry) and all her rights.
