Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The rights of a divorced virgin woman do not differ from those of a divorced non-virgin woman, unless the husband divorces her before consummation ( دخول) or privacy (خلوة). In this case, the divorced woman is entitled to half the Mahr (dowry) and is irrevocably divorced with a minor separation (baynunah sughra). She does not have to observe an ' (waiting period), and he can take her back with a new marriage contract. However, if he has been in privacy with her, she is entitled to the full Mahr, and she must observe the 'iddah. He can take her back during the 'iddah without a new contract if the divorce was revocable (raj'i).
