The answer

The divorced woman, after consummation, is entitled to the full dowry agreed upon at the time of the contract, whether it was the immediate or deferred portion, and not merely what was written in the contract. So, if the immediate portion was the household furnishings, she is entitled to all the furnishings. If the husband sold them, he must return their equivalent or their value. If they agreed upon a deferred dowry of a specific amount, but it was not written, the husband is religiously obligated to pay it. These detailed issues, which may lead to disputes, cannot be resolved by a mere . Instead, they should be presented verbally to trustworthy scholars, or the spouses should reconcile. Otherwise, the dispute must be brought before a court.
