Does the wife deserve the gold, the deferred dowry, and the movables mentioned in the sham marriage contract, which were not purchased, taking into account her domineering and nervous disposition, and the maintenance that the husband spent?

The list of movables signed by the husband is an innovated and permissible matter, whether the written items exist or not, as it serves as a document for the wife's dower. If the husband signs it willingly and consummates the marriage with his wife, then she is entitled to the full agreed-upon dower. However, if the wife is disobedient (nashiz) and attempts to reconcile with her fail, the husband may refrain from divorcing her until she forfeits her dower, or part of it, as a punishment for her disobedience. It is preferable to strive to reconcile with the wife before resorting to divorce.
