The answer

If a husband divorces his wife before consummating the marriage, she becomes irrevocably separated from him, and he cannot take her back except with a new contract. She is entitled to half of the stipulated dowry, or a compensatory gift (mut'ah) if no dowry was specified. Divorce is a right of the husband and is permissible if there is a need for it. It may even be better for the woman, as Allah Almighty says: "But if they separate, Allah will enrich each of them from His abundance."
