What are the rights of the wife upon whom the marriage contract has been concluded and the rights of the husband, if the contract was made remotely through the husband's agent while he is still traveling, and what are the implications of the husband delaying the wedding for 6 months on these rights?

The wife is entitled to rights upon marriage, whether the husband concludes the contract himself or appoints an agent. The most important of these is the agreed-upon mahr (dower), which becomes fully due upon consummation or the husband's death, and is halved upon divorce before consummation unless waived. The wife has the right to refuse to surrender herself until she receives her mahr. Inheritance is established between the spouses even before consummation. Alimony is obligatory upon the husband if the wife is ready for consummation and he is the one delaying it. In the event of the husband's absence and the wife refers the matter to a judge, the judge orders the husband to appear or appoint an agent. If he fails to do so, alimony is imposed on him from his wealth from the time it becomes possible for the order to reach him.
