Should the items bought by the bride be listed in the dowry inventory at their price at the time of marriage, or at their price at the time of purchase according to the invoices?
It is permissible to write down a list of movables to document what the wife has brought to the marital home, and it remains her property, which she takes with her upon divorce in its original condition. However, if the husband damages it, he is obligated to pay its value at the time of damage. It is permissible for the husband to utilize these movables. It is also permissible for the spouses to agree that the wife pays money or buys items that become a debt owed by the husband, and their value is written in the list. In this case, the items become the property of the husband, and the debt remains his responsibility until claimed or according to their agreement.
