The woman divorced before consummation is entitled to half of the named mahr (dower), including the shabka (engagement gift), if it was part of the mahr or if custom dictates so. If the divorce is not an irrevocable triple divorce, they can remarry by mutual consent. However, if it is a triple divorce, she is not lawful for him until she marries another husband. The husband has no right to withhold the mahr from his divorced wife; withholding it is an injustice.
