The agreed-upon Mahr (dowry) between the husband and the wife or her guardian is what is considered valid. If a portion of it was deferred and the husband agreed to it, then it is a right of the wife. If the husband denies it, then it is incumbent upon the wife to prove her claim. It is advised to refer to the Sharia courts for a resolution in this matter.
