Is it permissible for the husband to take back the jewelry (shabaka) he presented to his wife before marriage, if the wife no longer desires him after marriage, while she is committed to paying the dower (mahr) assessed by the court? And is his taking of the jewelry without her knowledge considered theft?

If a wife divorces her husband for a known compensation, then he is entitled to nothing more than this compensation. He has no right to demand anything else from the wife's property, whether it be the remainder of her Mahr (dowry) or the gifts he previously gave her. The husband has no right to the wedding jewelry (shabka) if it was not part of the agreed-upon compensation for the khul'. If he takes it without the wife's consent, he is unlawfully consuming property, and if he takes it secretly, he is a thief.
