Does the wife have the right to demand the agreed-upon and remaining amount of the Mahr after her divorce, knowing that the husband refuses to pay, claiming it is not her right?
If the divorce is revocable, the husband may take his wife back during her waiting period (iddah) without her consent or knowledge. She is not entitled to stipulate money for the return, and such a condition is not binding. However, if he takes her back after the iddah has expired, with a new contract and a dowry of ten thousand, this becomes a debt upon him that he must pay.
