What are the rights of the husband and wife if a divorce occurs after quarrels, beatings, and insults between them, especially since there are no children, and their marriage lasted one year and two weeks? Does the wife have the right to obtain the "qa'imah" (list of marital assets) and the deferred mahr, or only the furniture?
Divorce entails rights for the wife against her divorced husband, including the deferred dowry (mu'akhkhar al-mahr), compensation (mut'ah - a financial payment made by the husband), maintenance (nafaqah), and housing during her waiting period ('iddah) if the divorce is revocable or if she is pregnant until she gives birth. It also includes wages for breastfeeding if she breastfeeds, and her right to take the furniture she owns in the house that she purchased with her own money.
As for the husband's rights against his divorced wife, these include her obligation to observe the waiting period ('iddah) due to their separation, and his right to reconcile with her during the 'iddah without a new contract or her consent in the first and second revocable divorces, if he intends reconciliation.
