The husband must pay the full dowry agreed upon in the contract, unless the mature, رشيدة (of sound judgment) wife waives her dowry or part of it with her consent. The wife's guardian does not have the right to waive any part of her dowry without her consent. Therefore, it is obligatory to pay ninety thousand Riyals unless the wife waives any part of it.
