The answer

The rights of a divorced woman from her husband vary depending on the type of divorce (before consummation/valid seclusion or after). Compensation (mut'ah) is a right for divorced women, as stated in the Almighty's words: "And for divorced women is a provision [mut'ah] by legitimate means—a duty upon the righteous." The deferred dowry (mu'akhkhar al-sadaq) is a debt owed by the husband.
