Is the wife obligated to provide for herself after the marriage contract, the public announcement, and the husband's penetration of her without intromission?

The wife's maintenance becomes obligatory upon tamkeen, which means that the woman offers herself to her husband and invites him to consummate the marriage. Once this occurs, maintenance is established. The jurists have agreed on the obligation of the wife's maintenance upon her husband by virtue of a valid marriage contract, as long as she does not refuse tamkeen. Therefore, if the wife offers herself to her husband, willingly allowing full enjoyment, her maintenance is binding upon him. This does not depend on the occurrence of penetration; rather, the basis is merely the act of tamkeen.
