Taking the marriage bonus after the marriage has ended is not permissible. It must be returned to the concerned authority, due to the Almighty’s saying: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and the Hadith: "Muslims are bound by their conditions," and "On the hand is what it took until it returns it." If it is not possible to return it to the authority, then it should be given to the poor and needy.
